They will indeed fix this. At minimum, they can freeze the editor when it's out of focus. So there is no need to justify--this is a minor oversight, as someone phrased it over at Slashdot.[1]

I was responding to those who believe that this demonstrates a fundamental flaw in using Electron. My response emphasizes the tradeoffs involved. If they couldn't fix it, 13% background is undesirable, but it's not a dealbreaker for me if there are redeeming qualities. And it seems that VS Code certainly has some redeeming qualities.

No good has ever come from allowing BEL and DEL as part of filenames.

I'm with David Wheeler: https://www.dwheeler.com/essays/fixing-unix-linux-filenames....

We need to limit filenames for the good of the entire system and the whole community. Filenames as byte strings may sound good, but nobody ever thinks of the costs and the scant benefits.
You can't stop them, so any argument of whether it's right or not is mute.
I suppose you could store the normalization table in the filesystem superblock, if you wanted the ability to update in future versions but still have those readable on older versions of the OS.
Can you make an annotated version? Nothing fancy, if you add the translation with paintbrush and host it in imgur, I'll be completely happy.
Hi and thanks for your comment. When designing Onion Packer we focused on the designer need of:
- quickly finding the right texture / image
- have a fast way to preview it on a 3D model

You mentioned bumps, which is something that is in our roadmap (3D preview, together with diffuse textures).

We are looking for precious feedbacks and testers, since we are in the initial phase. If you have some good suggestions it is very easy that it will be considered. Onion Packer wants to take the direction that its users suggest it to go :)

Give it a try, it's totally free.

Slack, minus the ability to gracefully run in any sort of long term roaming context without babysitting. There's no decent reconnecting logic on either client or server, you just have to notice it's gone quiet, and then figure out the undocumented way to restore it without nuking your settings. Only figured out by accident "/connect" without parameters is valid.

I tried to fix it, but the client is a pile of terrible code and needs a complete rewrite.
Moto G4 + Cyanogenmod + only the apps you want mostly ticks your boxes. After all, "being in charge" doesn't mean "my phone decides what I'm (not) allowed to do".

Not sure if "find my phone" can ever be compatible with "fiercely anti-snoop". At least, you'll need to provide (and secure) your own server.

I'm not an expert but for me it's seems that the proposed approach doesn't compute the value function . By optimizing directly the policy function aren't we losing some key ingredient for generalization? I mean could this algorithm be used in a fully non deterministic environment ? Like human vs machine?

Well there is a physical limit, which when we reach an atomic level, for with processors, at which we can't make stuff smaller anymore. And other than that we see an obvious trend towards some particular phone width, for example. And it's not like phones are getting twice as thin every year, but they're slowly approaching a limit.

So yes, you might be able to play the game indefinitely, but I doubt anyone will care about those extra picometers a phone managed to shave of.
Congratulations to everyone involved, pity we still haven't got concepts and modules into it, but there is still hope for the next round. :)

Until of one the more secure alternatives gets more mainstream adoption, thus starting to be requested by our customers, C++ is going to be the tool to go to, when I need to step out of JVM and .NET languages to something more low level.
It's not. Thunderbolt is a very very closed standard by Intel. With standardized protocols, like regular PCIe, to start building a device, getting started is pretty much a case of ordering a few chips, reading the datasheets, and starting up in a design program. Thunderbolt, on the other hand, in order to even start looking at the datasheets, you have to apply to the developer program, and wait an unknown amount of time for intel to decide if you can even start to develop. Once your device is ready, you have to wait again for intel to approve it, and there is a chance they won't -- the first Thunderbolt GPUs were promised 5+ years ago, but Intel wouldn't approve for them being sold.
My first thought was that this would be an interesting protocol for calling someone.

I often receive more annoying robocalls on my personal phone than welcomed calls from unknown numbers. My usual solution is to quickly google the number to see if any scam reports are available and then quickly answer if not.

But I might start the practice of texting ahead of calling someone unfamiliar with a quick message like “This is John Smith's phone. I'll be calling shortly.” That way, I would ensure that my call was picked up or at least given the priority they prefer.

Or maybe I'm just a weirdo that worries too much about the consequences of actually answering robocalls :)

That's the most pragmatic approach. I don't give money to something untested and with no guarantees of getting a working/high-quality product (which aren't covered by regular consumer rights).
Most of the time, an object is just a user defined type with methods. No need to split hairs about it. End of story.
If current design is in reasonable demand by uninformed consumers and has an high margin / low period for recurrence of purchase; then even if new design is in demand by a similar amount of informed consumers it won't be produced unless the ROI is similar too.
Is there an overview of what kind of challenges prevent the inclusion of modules? I don't do much C++ anymore, but I've done a fair bit of work on module systems, and they've never seemed that complicated to me. (I worry that the answer will mention the preprocessor...)

My Nexus 4 is is still doing well, except for the battery I had to replace once already. The trick was to install cyanogenmod, remove all Gapps, and get all software from F-Droid. I use the KISS launcher, have no social networks that run in the background (except for WhatsApp), and so on. All in all it's a pleasant experience, even though there might be an occasional bug from time to time.

If it weren't for the battery, I would have no reason to replace the phone, ever.
I'd argue that by advertising browser compatibility[1], meeting the browser trust requirements is implicitly part of the business relationship, thus Google enforcing them does not give rise to tortious interference. (FWIW, I studied English law, but that was some years ago and I am largely unfamiliar with tortious interference)

ExtJS has two modes, modern mode is based on sencha touch and uses CSS-based layout, classic mode is based on the older ExtJS rendering model and uses tables for layout. You get a richer feature set in classic mode, but the end goal is to achieve parity and then phase it out.
This will make a great kickstarter in 2063.

TL;DR: It has a lot to do with the preprocessor, macros specifically.
Windows 10 update disrupting average users systems is now well known not only to the general public but also technical folks. If updates were a seamless process that do not interfere with people's work or bork their systems no one would care.

You have an urgent meeting or concall at the specific time Windows decides to update, you need to reboot and get back to urgent work and Windows decides to update. It updates behind your back and things that were working now don't. For a person who just needs their system to just work this kind of breakage and time sink is simply not acceptable.

Technical people working around it without disruption is besides the point. For supporters of automatic updates its important to first ensure it's seamless, a technical problem that is your core skill set, before trying to blame users.
Caution for the OP considering using it with a Mac Mini: there are no nvidia OS X drivers for the 1050Ti. You're stuck with 9xx or earlier cards.

And TBH, if you want this solution to boost a desktop computer, you're better off just building a Hackintosh. It may make some sense for a laptop, but i think it's still cheaper to build a separate gaming computer.
Thanks for posting this. I've just reached the point where I need to look around for a cross-platform RAD tool for a side-project which will require a lot of experimentation, so this is fortuitous timing. :)
Yes. A subtle but important distinction. Indeed, these two kinds of complexity feed off each other. As the author states: If essential complexity growth is inevitable, you want to do everything you can to reduce ongoing accidental or unnecessary complexity

Good to know but doesn't really answer the question. The BoM of just the signal adapter is what I really want to know. Is it $5 or $80? The price of a power supply is a known factor, and boxes are cheap.
I brought 27 inch 4K display recently and instantly regret I hadn't purchased 4K display 3 years ago.

Back then, 4K display was still way too expensive. Although I could buy one, I didn't think spending half the price of good laptop computer for a 4K display doesn't worth the money. I was wrong.

4K display greatly improved my productivity. I should have purchased a few of them already.
Air superiority keeps your enemy from dropping ordinance on you when you're advancing along the highway towards the capital. It also lets you drop ordinance on enemy armor and artillery, two of the biggest impediments to advancing ground forces. As a former infantryman, fighters are one of those things that you really want on your side. They are really a powerful psychological weapon, too. I have a friend who is a fighter pilot and "dogfighting" in the Top Gun sense has gone the way of the Dodo bird. Fire and forget missiles are the way of the future -- and more specifically, fire and forget missiles from drone fighters. If the American military could take the men out of the fight and replace them with autonomous robots and drones, they wouldn't hesitate. Of course, it's not possible now, but it's just a matter of technology advancing to that point.

It seems to me that the main cause of the crash is the fact that the author used a special [classloader](https://github.com/vmlens/jcstress-examples/blob/master/src/...) which always reloads the class and is not thread-safe intentionally (classloaders should be Thread-safe). I did not investigate in depth but that seems to be the main problem to me.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 running LineageOS. It has a replacable battery and I have replacements (and have replaced it once so far). I will be keeping it until it breaks, because it's more than fast enough to do everything I demand from my phone and I have no reason to spend hundreds of dollars to buy the latest and greatest in planned obsolescence.

Do Gtk programs on Windows or Mac have the same, non native file selector dialog? I mostly use Linux (Ubuntu with i3wm) for coding and what annoys me most on daily basis are the file pickers on different applications. They are not only inconsistent, they are also all bad compared to Windows and Mac. It takes me far more time to select files than on the other platforms. Granted I use it mostly by far when webbrowsing as I use the commandline mostly but still at least a few times per day. I cannot check if Win or Mac Gtk apps use the platform picker or a Gtk one: if the latter, that would stop me from deploying software in Gtk on other platforms.
I was impressed until about this:

I don't understand why they don't scale up the screen size for monitors any further.

I've been coding on a 40" 4K monitor for a while now and it's awesome to be able to see most of my code without scrolling. I would love to get better resolution but I don't want to go back to 32" (4K is good enough for coding but it's definitely pixelated at 40").

You can buy TVs in humongous sizes so I'm sure there is no technical limitation, but apparently they seem to think there is no market for large monitors. The first one on the market with a 40" monitor with a resolution above 4K has my money.
No Google Glass sucked for other reasons. The voice interface didn't work very well, the screen was in an awkward position, there we no socially acceptable reason to wear them, they cost $3k and their most compelling feature over a smartphone was hands-free first person video recording.

Compare that to something like Snap's Spectacles which basically took Glass's best use - hands free first person video recording - but use a sensible button-based interface, cost $130 and are sunglasses which are totally socially acceptable.

I think people are also more willing to wear crazy things on their heads when the do actually offer something new and innovative, e.g. the Vive or Hololens. Nobody is saying "OMG nobody is going to wear the Hololens in public; you'll look like a total arse". They're saying "Woah Hololens actually does good AR for the first time ever."

That's not true, children born to slaves were treated as the master's children

> If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out alone. (Exodus 21:4)

further beating slaves had consequences of letting the slave go free if he is injured (Exodus 21:26-27)

>“When a man strikes the eye of his slave, male or female, and destroys it, he shall let the slave go free because of his eye. If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the slave go free because of his tooth.

I wonder if people would be interested in an open source, open world, multiplayer 3d engine. Not something too fancy though, just the bare minimal.

I guess it's not interesting... Or maybe some game developers would fund such engine?

Can you quote the piece of my comment that you believe is "mocking"?

Brilliant idea! The code sample is the most clean GUI code I have ever seen. However, I haven't coded GUI for a very long time, so it may be that there are also other good GUI APIs which I don't know about.

Nevertheless, this DSL reveals how powerful Nim actually is. It seems many developers have not realized it yet. With Nim they get C performance, seamless C FFI, and a very expressive pythonic syntax. I am using Nim for years now, and it's amazing how productive coding can be.

Thank you so much for this.

Duplicating tabs is by far my most used feature out of that menu for me and it always irked me that there was no keyboard shortcut available for it and I had to resort to using the mouse to do it (the amount of time lost hitting "Pin tab" or "Reload" by accident - I cannot even begin to tell). That being said, I didn't go out of my way to google for a workaround, either. Maybe, with all the features (or rather what's left) being taken away, I figured there was no hope (but for a dedicated extension) to achieve it.

I will now have to retrain my muscle memory to replace the ordeal before with just Alt-D, Alt-Enter - I don't think it will take long at all.

btw remember the old Opera? Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts (not to even mention customizable Mouse Gestures) - wherever did we lose all this along the way...

Is it really necessary to "optimize" a menu that is mostly unused by everyone (I agree on the point that it's a crowded menu - I'd really love to be able to configure the entries I want in there, but that option is apparently not even on anyone's mind at chrome)
It's true that VR and AR has not lived up to the hype. However, history has many examples of a technology that disappoints for decades but continually improves to the point where it suddenly reaches a critical mass: eg. flat screen TVs, touch screen input, air conditioning, powered flight.
Oh I forgot to add:

- pre-installed basic text phrases e.g. I'm home, Stuck in traffic

- loving the bevel-less displays of Samsung Edges

On second thoughts, voice command should be really be a primary function.

By small, light but substantial I mean a slightly weighted credit card which is 3 cm thick, less rounded (Sony aesthetics) and cool to touch.

I get the clash between tracking and privacy. Hmm.

Aha. I'm thinking of a modular model: you can start with the very basic but slick-looking dumb phone, then customise your own level of privacy and functions, pick-n-mix style. I should think that it wouldn't be that labour-intensive today; plug in a basic model to a special computer, select and pay for the features you want and get the phone re-programmed.

Any piqued companies reading this, don't forget my commission ;))
I look forward in this thread to see people justify complaining about other people's efforts to prevent-- ultimately-- what may be trillions of needless deaths, because they'd rather these people spend their time elsewhere because every other problem than _dying_ isn't yet cured.

I suggest you look into Session Typing, specifically Multiparty Session Types as these provide a refreshing approach to the problem of communicating threads. A lot of it is still kind of experimental but there's some good traction being made for sure and it's probably as expressive as you'd need to get to model 95% of the type information in an Erlang program. Type inference obviously isn't a choice yet, but I think a good language offering some of these features on the BEAM VM is all that is needed to make them hit the mainstream and actually get used for real software so that more work can go into the theory, etc. The problem is being solved on the bleeding edge of things, just not as fast as Erlang itself is progressing.
