Rails uses an asset pipeline package called sprockets. You throw everything in a special directory and it wraps it all up and packages it nicely for you. This also gives you SASS and coffee compilation by default.

Sprockets handles minification and cache invalidation for you.

If you don't mind the opinionated approach to your javascript and stylesheets, it works fine. If you just need to sprinkle in some javascript on top of your site, it's fantastic. If you intend for your app to be javascript heavy, a lot of people rip out sprockets altogether and fallback to webpack to handle asset compilation (and I believe the newer Rails version is integrating webpack to play nicer with the rest of the framework)

I can speak from personal experience that Sprockets is a PITA if you want to use npm.

I'm working on a tabbed console-based editor that doesn't want to be vim. Like micro, only lighter and with a few extras like multiple cursor support.

https://github.com/tomas/eon

I like to restore old (90's) computers for fun, and realized that if I wanted to actually use them for something, at the very least I needed a decent code editor that would run on them -- i.e. use at the very most 5-10 megs or RAM.

It's not 100% yet, but it's quite usable right now and works both in Linux and macOS. I actually had to fork the termbox library in order to get keybindings working correctly across different terminal emulators (xterm, urxvt, gnome/xfce term, OSX, etc).
I read somewhere that Apple's products are in the pipeline for at least 2y before they ship, so you might be a wee bit harsh on them.

I had great hopes in Act of Aggression which tried to be a C&C Generals clone. Sadly even after the second redux release it not a good game. And sadly beside all gameplay deficites the graphic engine looks as often worse than the 2004 original, and buildings cannot be freely built, and only in 90 degree steps and aligned like a chess board. A big let down. The other clone either Star Craft 2 (I dislike SC2, liked SC1 back then, but nowadays prefer realastic historic or modern era gameplay not SciFi/fantasy/etc) or are non-traditional-RTS-style gameplay.

You're right, it does use that. The security against untrusted users is whatever you get from docker - each user's code runs in an individual container. In the case of try.jupyter.org a breakout would not be catastrophic, though, because those servers shouldn't be holding any sensitive data.

I'm skeptical of the strategic advantage of being backed by a tooling company, because of the fact that tooling is often a preference that comes with holy wars attached. If Emacs sponsored a language, how many Vim users would jump ship? I know plenty of Java devs that actually prefer Eclipse (WTF?!?!?). Good luck getting an entire team onboard with a single IDE.

Throw in the fact that their IDE software is open source only until you need the most advanced features, and I can imagine Kotlin never picking up as much steam as Rust or Swift with their comparably inferior tooling ecosystems. I can imagine C# taking over java before Kotlin does.
That doesn't sound very decentralized to me.

We might be using the word flap here in differant ways.

With LASIK, they remove part of the eye, zap it, and then replace the 'flap' for it to re-attach. When it reattaches, it heals around the edges and this is what causes the HALOs in many people. It can also come loose if you are hit or jarred, like playing sports, boxing, mugged, car accident, pets, etc.

With LASEK, they dissolve the protective layer, called the epithelium, zap the eye, and then you keep your eyes closed for 24-48 hours while the epithelium regenerates -- they don't reattach it. With LASEK, there is nothing to come loose later and no edge tissue to cause halos.
What is the advantage of your project over regular headless Chrome? It appears you have prioritized Windows + MacOS while the official version only supports Linux.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is clearly the greatest salesman in tech right now, and eager investors are rushing to purchase TSLA stock in anticipation of greater riches to come.

On one hand that seems fairly reasonable, on the other hand I can't escape the feeling that the author had a conclusion and was fitting results to it. It is an inherently messy and complicated field and there are many ways one could interpret this largely qualitative data, but the author seems to have not a shred of doubt or uncertainty, for my type of personality it makes my spider senses tingle.

One of the problems with Cook's appeal to authority is this: So far, no one has quantified the consensus among natural scientists on global warming. In fact, it cannot be done easily, said Jon Krosnick, a social psychologist at Stanford University who has been studying communication strategies for decades.

While the Cook study may quantify the views expressed in published literature, it does not establish the beliefs of any defined group of scientists, Krosnick said.

"How do you determine who qualifies to be surveyed and who doesn't qualify?" he asked. "Personally, I haven't seen anyone accomplish that yet."

Category theory provides the tools (a language, a set of theorems, etc) to understand why certain things are necessarily true, rather than just "true in practice" or true because of a happy coincidence, similar (IMO) to how complexity analysis gives you the tools to know that merge sort necessarily has a certain baseline performance, rather than just happening to run through all your unit tests quickly.

They also held a much more modestly-sized area.

The larger you are, the bigger the attack surface and the more your defenses are spread out.

Plus, you attract more attention when larger; the 1G logo northwest of Canada was originally a good deal bigger, but a rival streamer told his followers to wipe it out and it was completely dissolved within about ten minutes; very scary.

Personally I was against expansion but I underestimated our community's size, I think, because we grew to be fairly large and prominent.

Yes.. this will take a very long blog post. This started many months ago as a project to learn 'golang' and as a way to index my everygrowing collection of music / movies / documents / subtitles / lyrics and everything on my servers.

Got hooked into it and became obsessed with speed and rewrote everything in 'C'. Replication is based on 'Raft', actually the multi raft variant proposed by the amazing folks at Cockroach (https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/scaling-raft/)

It does not use a backend framework. It is a simple http/https server (epoll + multi-threaded) which talks json. I use Jansson for json and utf8proc for unicode handling. Index is custom built.

I have been working on low powered distributed systems for over 10yrs, which certainly helped. Will definitely let you know when I get that blog post written :)

As for a "top of the line" MBP, the 2016 15" is already the fastest MBP ever overall, even if you count the few benchmarks which put it slightly behind 2015 models in one or two metrics.
If companies want to keep control of media and devices in this way we need a law to make them behave. Disabling a device without​ due notice should receive a hefty fine and compensation to the user.

Preventing or no longer supporting access to media should be similar and require an alternative format be made available, so Amazon can block access to an ebook or movie but must provide a download instead.

That would balance alittle the current disparity of power the companies hold IMO.

Recently NowTV/Roku unlawfully accessed my set-top box and disabled an app, the main reason for having the device, because they don't like it. They claim it's illegal but it's available from the curated app-store if I buy the more expensive device from the same manufacturer (or indeed a device from many other manufacturers).

I can't afford a lawsuit and we don't have group actions in the UK. Net effect a company cripples a device because they don't like how it is being used, and commit unauthorised access of a computer system in the process (currently illegal, but only individuals are being prosecuted for it).

We need protection from such companies.
LTS release, now I can assure business that we're good on this technology stack for 3 years. Thanks Django team!
Your arguments contradict themselves - if the infrastructure is changing then there's little point spending the time automating your response to its failure.

Most attempts I've seen to automate tasks flounder for this reason.

Also, there's no point automating something that happens once a year - the cost will exceed the benefit. Hence the comments about decided which tasks to automate with a backlog and metrics.

Most anything _could_ be automated, eg 'Phone the customer and ask them to engage their network team', 'look for similar-looking strings', 'tcpdump the port, and see if the output is irregular', but is it really worth the effort to? That's where the backlog came in.

BTW I wrote a whole framework for automation

Their desktops don't benefit as much from great power management, excellent hardware integration (trackpad especially), and general doing-the-right-thing when plugging in external devices (especially displays) as their mobile devices do. Even with missteps and price increases it remains difficult to leave the Macbook because their laptops are so good, and the competition still hasn't caught up. Desktops? Way easier to live with Windows (ugh) or get Linux working the way you want it and leave it alone there than it is on a laptop, since its environment is mostly static, its I/O devices are all replaceable, and power use matters way less.

It's much closer to a fair fight on the desktop front for Windows/Linux.
Elliptical curve asymmetrical keys for the actual encryption. No encryption by proxy by default. Basically think of a shared database where you don't know who inserts data or who selects data. Making all payloads the same size, and constantly transmitting/receiving at a set rate ensures that even your isp can't tell if you are the sender or receiver of a message. The security/anonymity levels are adjustable so you don't have to use the features if you'd rather not. Also with shared asymetrical keys, users can communicate without having to sign/identify themselves within the message. This also provides plausible deniability. There are a lot more layers, but I'll keep it brief here.

You're misreading the graph[1]. The 2-7 grouping is all gun deaths, homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths.

If you hover over individual blue counties you can see the breakdown by homicide and suicide rate for some of them.

E.g. Washington, NY has a gun homicide rate of 0.46, gun suicide rate of 5.14. Meanwhile The Netherlands has a gun homicide rate of 0.29, gun suicide rate of 0.28, but an overall homicide rate of 0.7[2], and an overall suicide rate of 8.2, while the US has a suicide rate of 12.1.

Does The Netherlands still come out better? Am I cherry-picking by comparing county-level statistics v.s. entire countries? Yes and yes.

But for the point I'm making it doesn't matter. The point is that there's a common misunderstanding, particularly among mainland Europeans, that the mere availability of guns in the US results in a drastic increase in the homicide rate.

This is simply not supported by the data. What the data does show is that if you're going to kill yourself or others you're likely to use the best tool for the task, whether that's a gun or a knife.

Does the ease of availability of guns in the US make it easier to kill people, and cause some murders that otherwise wouldn't have happened? Yeah, but it's hard to tease that out of the data, it also prevents some murders.

What we do see from the data[2] is that there's lots of countries with much more restrictive gun policies that have higher homicide rates than the US, and furthermore the occurrences of gun-related homicides in the US don't at all map to whether the area has more liberal access to guns, but whether there's a general crime & poverty problem there.

Lithuania has a significantly higher homicide rate than the US, 5.5 v.s. the US's 3.9, but just 1% of homicides there are gun crimes[3].

However I've never heard anyone say to my Lithuanian friends that they were lucky to get out because of the obscene murder rate there, but I've heard my fellow Europeans make comments like that to some of my American friends when it comes to gun crimes.

I discovered PowerShell and now I favor it even more than bash

Same here. Might be biased because I never completely mastered bash as I don't use it that much. But after the first bit of the learning curve is over the rest just seems to go automatically with seemingly way less searching the internet: things are just easier to discover and figure out by yourself, and that also makes it easier to remember them. Plus you can visually debug it. Also some of the bash things I'm addicted to (autojump and fzf) have some pretty good clones for PS, namely ZLocation and PSFzf, those are real timesavers for navigation/history search for me.
> while kotlin can replace java completely

I am not sure it can be be concluded from any data. They have come up with just a tech preview. Doing better job than Rust/Swift/Java or Go to have high perf on native platforms is going to be a huge effort. Just having a binding via LLVM is a small start.

Hope they do better but for now it seems to me that hype around it is about 2-3 magnitudes higher than the actual amount of software written in it.
>>* Cmd-C / V work everywhere, including the Terminal.

If you mean Command Prompt by "Windows Terminal", this is not the case (if not, I'd really like to know what "Windows Terminal" is - I use Command Prompt for DOS/Windows things and Kitty for *nix related things). At least I have had to turn it on explicitly in the Command Prompt options (quick edit mode), and it's one of the first things I do on a Windows machine after setup.

As an Australian living in America, I think "constant fear" is a bit of an overstatement but you have to understand that non-Americans are coming from a place where gun violence is near nonexistent. We have to worry about being shot just about as much as we have to worry about a freak meteor strike.

In America, not only is it now possible, but the UNODC intentional homicide rate [0] is about 4x higher than my home country (Australia) and most of Europe. Yes the rate is still small, yes we're probably overreacting. I have a feeling this will be an unpopular comparison but I'd say our fear of being shot in America is similar to American fear of terrorism after 9/11. Before 9/11 you simply never had to worry about it. It'd never happened, it wasn't possible. Suddenly it happened and even though the chance a terrorist will kill you is vanishingly small, people worry about it a hell of a lot.

> I don't understand how that is possible? Could you give an example of a task that can't be automated?

"Check the logs for service X (they're here <link>) and look for anything related to the issue"

"If the user impact is high, write an update to the status page detailing the impact and an estimated time to recovery"

The value of a runbook is that it can make use of human intelligence in its steps. No-one is arguing that you shouldn't be automating things like "if the CPU usage is > 90%, spin up another instance and configure it".
I don't want to assume you lack a connection to swastikas used as they were during the Holocaust.

For me personally, my grandfather and his family were persecuted along with other family members and friends. My grandfather was even beaten by Hitler Youth, among experiencing other horrible events (Kristallnacht in particular). I wish it weren't the case but the symbol is strongly associated with the feelings from this era of time.

So yes, an image (which is a collection of pixels on a screen) does feel bullying to me. Maybe it's not active bullying where someone is specifically setting out to piss me off/scare me/whatever, but it's most certainly passive bullying because unfortunately there are people who still feel very strongly about it and its use in one of the most horrible eras of history.
> he failed to complete the barkley by 2 miles.

That's very different; in that case, the finish line crossing time has no meaning (and perhaps shouldn't even be quoted around).

Going for another two miles to cover the missing distance could take an hour or more in that body condition (even on an ideal, flat surface, never mind the actual one). Especially given that he calculated his remaining physical resources with regard to where he thought the finish lied.

I accept responsibility for getting carried away with an article that is lacking in crucial details and helping to perpetrate the wrong story.

> Arriving after that point means you didn't finish the race in the allotted time.

In the eyes of the world, you finished. If we drop the "in the alloted time" part, the remaining statement's face value interpretation in the world at large is false. (The unqualified statement may still be understood properly in the narrow context shared by a group of people, in which the condition is implicit, but carrying that statement over to the world at large without context is equivocation.)

The way that compromises emerged was actually kind of inspiring. Everyone knew that a harmonious picture would be more pleasing than a chaotic blob, and it would be easy for a failed negotiation to descend into chaos, so neighboring groups had a good incentive to work together and find ways of solving their problems. My favorite was when the cute dog subreddit /r/goodboye was starting to overlap with the Dutch flag; they mutually agreed to have the dogs wear clogs.
