The high-end LCDs can go very bright nowadays, and HDR content means that there can be a great contrast between the bright parts and dark parts of an image.

The Samsung you point at is one of the best of last years TVs, so yes, a very good picture. Only downside is that it is edge-lit, meaning that the brightness of light objects can bleed into the surrounding areas.

Where OLED shines though is the low-end, the blacks/dark scenes, where you can go very dark right next to very light.

> It is only the legal means of obfuscation that prevents us as humans from making every book ever written freely available to all people.

I would bet that most writers do not want to make their books freely available. If they did how would they pay the rent? And would they be able to even write them then?
Correct, but you're not required to pay the local (Dutch) VAT, so the seller doesn't have to collect it.
This tool shows the Dutch VAT rate (0.21) for all buyer countries, which is not correct in that case.

He's talking about people complaining that Canonical are developing their own display server Mir, rather than using standards like Wayland. But people have a reason to be suspicious when a company doesn't want to play ball with others. Yes, they might have a great idea that nobody else has thought of, but rather more likely they have some plan for vendor lock-in.

Hugo with Discus will do the job you're looking to complete: it's the approach I've taken with nearly all my sites these days, precisely because of the performance and security headaches.

You don't even need to run a VPS, although if you do so you can set up a nice publication pipeline with Git. But you can equally just throw the static content up on S3 or Google Cloud Storage, optionally with a CDN in front of it.

You can also run your blog on Gitlab if you feel inclined: they have a CI process meaning that when you commit new source content to your git repo, it'll automatically get built and appear on your site. I found the domain support a little flaky there when I tried it, but apparently they've updated their setup since then.

The point was that the entire banking system was seizing up, and for the banks in the biggest trouble, being honest about how much it was costing to borrow money (or worse, the fact that there was no money to be borrowed) would have sent them over the edge and (maybe!) taken the system with them. If your trying to fake it 'til you make it, you can't do that explicitly and transparently.

(The US equivalent was to just force all banks to take government money whether they wanted or needed it or not, because just bailing out the ones who needed it would have made it clear who was in trouble, and again, sent them over the edge. That was, again, done in order to avoid transparency, and neither policy was without moral questions, but both worked in the end. And the UK one was at least cheap.)

> Allowing (or even encouraging) a small group of people to secretly make a lot of money doesn't seem like a fair way to run the economy.

Libor manipulation may be wrong, but it didn't really make anyone a lot of money. And this particular part of the overall scandal certainly didn't. Manipulating rates so that you can borrow money cheaply might be profitable; lying and claiming you can borrow money cheaply when yu actually can't is not to avoid sparking a bank run is not. :)

Yes it's badly worded, I should say I believe it's nearly impossible to draw conclusions due to the placebo effects, complexity of people's brains and the differences between subjects.

I actually am pretty skeptical about anti-depressants personally and they seem very addictive/dependence inducing. I suppose it's better than people killing themselves but the way they are handed out seems almost abusive.

The "grab some popcorn" mentality is offensive. It's actually a symptom of this problem - people aren't taking critical discussion seriously. Everyone suffers because of this.
I have the feeling that somehow the actual need has been put aside for phylosophical (or Open Source, etc.) reasonings (nice but not the original issue).

More or less what the good farmers are asking for (which is not about the code, the kernel or whatever, they are not "hackers" as much as the authorized JD technicians are not computer experts or programmers or software engineers) is just access to the "database" of parts serial number of the machine.

Loosely the way it works (simplified) is a database where the (say) pressure sensor #42 has been registered (authorized) in the operating system as having serial number #0123456789.
When the sensor breaks, after it has been replaced with a new (original or verified third party) sensor, you need to update the database telling it that sensor with serial #0123456789 has bee replaced with sensor serial number #2223334445 and - of course it depends on the specific part - possibly run a "self-test" program to verify that the sensor works properly and maybe tune/regulate it.

The farmers do not want the source code, they don't want to modify it, they don't want to "hack" anything, they simply want to be able to replace a part and have the thingy work.

Going back to software, let's talk of - say - Windows 7 (yeah I know that all the rage is about Windows 10 nowadays) and its activation, imagine that instead of having one month time to activate a new install either through the internet, the automated phone call in case it doesn't work and a support phone call for particular cases where the previous two options do not work, activation was:

1) Immediately mandatory (i.e. the OS wouldn't work until activated)

2) ONLY available through a local visit of a MS agent (9 to 5 , Monday to Friday) at a cost of (say) US$ 100.00/hour + US$ 1.00/mile

But it's not just about suffering. It's about the morality of killing other lifeforms. Personally, I'm OK with it. I'll be eaten after I die. Indeed, I'm always under attack from bacteria, yeast, molds, etc. But I won't eat anything that I wouldn't kill myself.

Your post smacks of "PR". The majority of people that I've talked to regarding their tractors have the issue of needing a replacement part and requiring the JD tech to come out and authorize its replacement or fixing every single time. This is just crazy expensive and time consuming.

If you want people to not modify your hardware or software then you make it so easy that the alternative doesn't look good.

Using Drupal, MySQL (or MariaDB) simply works much smoother than PostGres. That is because apparently Drupal has been designed around MySQL. You may be quite sure that if you are having a problem with Drupal on PostGres, that the same problem doesn't exist when using MySQL.

In 2011, we started out using Drupal with PostGres. After a year or two, we migrated to MySQL.

I think it's likely that the situation is quite similar with WordPress.

You say it's not about "being linked to the action", yet you think this relevant. Who cares if no-one gave them cancer, does that make it morally superior to die of natural cancer?

Only because of the way you've framed it. What if you could have helped, if another course of action had been taken?

I don't need to feel good about anything.
Be aware that 'free range' and ('organic', FWIW) are close to meaningless in terms of animal welfare. Both give a set of definitions for what meets the label, which is then achieved by farmers by the most cost-effective means possible.

E.g. 1 - 'free range' chickens have almost no extra space per chicken compared to battery-farmed chickens, and many die after being trampled by the others. They are at least a breed which can stand on its own legs - battery chickens can't even walk.

E.g. 2 - 'organic' animals must not be fed antibiotics (which means their general conditions must be good enough for not too many to die from disease, which is otherwise avoided by routine antibiotics in feed). This means sick animals are generally left to die rather than be treated, since allowing antibiotics would lose organic status.

E.g. 3 - For eggs: no matter how good the conditions are for the hens, egg-laying chickens are a different breed to chickens-for-meat. Ergo, all male layer chicks are redundant, and are killed immediately on hatching (normal method is to grind the chicks en masse).

Eating animals is not a pleasant thing. Definitely worth reading up on.

(FTR: I eat animals, eggs, and dairy. I'm struggling to find out how to do so ethically, given the current 'ethical' labels are so close to meaningless.)

Example from the docs [1], Closure compiler can combine 'aggressive renaming', 'dead code removal' and 'function inlining', so it can compile:

function unusedFunction(note) {
alert(note['text']);
}
function displayNoteTitle(note) {
alert(note['title']);
}
var flowerNote = {};
flowerNote['title'] = "Flowers";
displayNoteTitle(flowerNote);

to:

var a={};a.title="Flowers";alert(a.title);

For comparison, rollup created:

function displayNoteTitle(note) {
alert(note['title']);
}
var flowerNote = {};
flowerNote['title'] = "Flowers";
displayNoteTitle(flowerNote);

... (which you'd then have to minify, but as you can see it only eliminated the unused function).

Having used linux for over 20 years now - the 'fragmenting the Linux desktop' idea boggles my mind.

The entire Linux eco-system exists of competing things. Nginx vs Apache, sendmail vs qmail vs postfix, ... the list goes on. There is no singular 'desktop' when it comes to Linux, and there will never be one. Thinking and hoping there will be is simply not understanding what drives the whole Linux world: options and competition.

When canonical announced Mir, i was excited and thought let's try how this display server differs to X window system, in case if it didn't work to my taste, you can always switch back or try other ubuntu derivatives. Why need to hate it? It's free, you can try it or leave it.

When it comes to Open Source Software, hate is not the option, you use it or take the Source Code to change according to your needs, but if you are a common user just change the distro or change your opinion.

My personal pet peeve is bean validation. The goals of the API are laudable, but the fact that the implementation is annotation-driven drives me nuts.

Annotations are fine for intra-project code contracts, but using them for external validation means that if you, say, deploy on a application server with an older version of Jersey, you're suddenly SOL when none of your validation logic is executed.

His performance gives the AI generated text a surprising amount meaning. It seems similar to the partial intelligibility that happens when two languages are right at the border between dialects that can understand each other and languages that can no longer understand each other.

It has the same quality where it sounds like it should be understandable, but isn't.

Don't try to bullshit us.

Your code is deliberately user-hostile. Farmers aren't trying to hack their tractors for the sake of it; they need to hack the parts of your code that prevent them from performing routine maintenance. Replacing a fuel pump is not going to turn a tractor into a rampaging death machine.

You are using spurious safety arguments to justify profiteering. Software lock-outs are being used to prop up a business model, just like the chips in printer ink cartridges.
Intuitively I would assume that for most codebases dead-code removal would have the biggest impact, especially when importing third-party libraries and only using portions of them.

But from your comment I can see that rollup should be able to handle this too. Yet the data in the linked article seems to imply Google Closure compiler still can optimize the code 33% further.

I find it hard to imagine that inlining functions can make that kind of difference.

Is it the test which contains flawed data? Or is this just an area where it's hard to generalize results due to the varying characteristics of different code-bases? Anyone got an opinion?

You shouldn't be the one telling people what they should and should not be doing. You don't have to like it, but there are many developers who are really bad at styling. They don't have a good eye for design and they're trying to build a usable product, or they have an internal need, or want to learn.
