What do you mean by exposed? Unless you're doing intricate climbing the chances of catching a toe on something in VFs is nill.

All VFs have a bit of rubber padding on the front of the toe to prevent toe-stubbing.

I've noticed a significant improvement in the coordination/sensitivity of my feet, I stub my toe a lot less often in VFs than when I wear regular shoes. My calves have also become a lot stronger, and my balance has improved as well.
Not sure I'm using it for anything special... But one reason I chose it is my preference for minimal syntax, which is not a fashion thing and has not changed since I did Python 8 years ago. It also fixes some bugs in JS, like defaulting to globals on omitted `var` or implicit conversions on `!=`.

I do wish to have gradual static typechecking available though. This may unfortunately force me over to TypeScript or ES2015+Flow.
HTTP 3xx would work fine, but you would need an active server there. But really setting up nginx with such rules as basically the only thing it is doing to handle these requests on OVH or some other fairly unlimited bandwidth server shouldn't be too hard.
>Let's say someone does modify the code.

Let's not. These farmers don't want to change the software. They only want to fix their hardware.

And because of the close tightness with the software, they can't.

He's probably just angry that so many people went from Ubuntu to Linux Mint and his daydreams about becoming a kind of open source Bill Gates didn't really turn out as planned, even though Ubuntu is doing fine as distro.

He needs to chill out and listen more to the people who do the real work.
As an update, keep in mind that Barclay's was being pretty open about it. They were talking about it to the NY Fed, US Fed, ECB, World Bank, etc.

http://dealbreaker.com/2012/07/same-old-boring-story/

Like, literally, a Barclay's guy is on record telling a regulator that they were lying about Libor because telling the truth hurt their share price, so they stopped! And then everyone laughed, and that was the end of it, because it was just Libor, and it's not like there was an assumption that it was somehow accurate or objective.

Times change.

Dude you are trying to get a commission by referring your eye center. We get it.

Don't be an idiot and claim these eye surgeries are perfectly safe. They have serious risks, including blindness.

I am very happy with my PRK, but my colleague had his eyes bulging out because of excessive pressure and had some eye damage. But such testimonials are not so useful. Go into these surgeries expecting you could be the in the minority of people who have a complication.

Hate is a strong word. People can be very critical at times, myself included, but this isn't the same thing. People often vent frustrations and justify their own personal choices by criticising. It might often be a tad anti-social but I don't believe it is generally "hate". Personally I am sad to see less competition for the GNOME technology stack.
Web We Can Afford – W3C Group
awesome :) thanks
I blame (in part) the linux popularization approach that turned to drama to create a more compelling narrative. The now defunked linux action show for example. Having an opinion is cheap. People who have never contributed a line of code or donated a cent to a project think that by being super opinionated about systemd vs upstart or Mir vs wayland, that they can virtue signal how "l33t" they are. Then they justify their strong opinions with arguments about "fracturing and redundancy" but never anything technical because they actually know nothing. Telling those people to GTFO is both cathartic and better for the FOSS community. Right on Mark!

Nahh, if that's the case, then even more onerous DRM would take hold. And that would be because copyright woudn't exist for a multitude of people. And DRM would be the enforced control, rather than the threat of massive software copyright lawsuit.

And likely, remote kill would also be implemented to nuke the software from the owner's point of view, in cases like alleged breach of contract and "pissed off owner' sort of reasons.. Like what Garagdet did when a customer posted a bad review of their IoT crap.

At the time Mir was started, Wayland was not the standard (and lets be honest, still isn't - X is still the standard).

"Use the standard" doesn't ring true when there is none - and having multiple projects do the same thing is not a bad thing - they can learn from each other and try different approaches.
Yeah but this was an unrelated event, which happened before the financial crisis, and (as far as we know) didn't involve the senior management of either the banks or the BoE.

This seems misleading. Rollup doesn't ship with an uglifier/minifier, and Webpack ships with UglifyJS. So what you're really comparing is UglifyJS vsthe Closure Compiler, however both webpack _and_ rollup have plugins for utilizing the closure compiler:

Hiring candidates through interviews or through known contacts list is just about taking a chance. There are several unknowns which can only come out in the course of time.

I agree with vonnik, that running the Project in Open Source definitely has an edge in the interviewing process. The potential employee has already seen your code (or you can make sure that he has), knows what he/she is getting into. I would seek for some links of their contributions to other projects which will help me evaluate if their code.

Of-course less than 5% of the job applicants now have had the opportunity to develop for open source. (Either the folks contributing in the open source love their job so much, that they hardly look around or they are already being offered jobs without looking..).
Among all the desktop distros, Ubuntu/Unity came closest to making me switch away from macOS. While I'm a programmer, my interests in the desktop are that of a simple user: I want stuff to work without me having to spend time actively keeping it alive, and I want some amount of polish and UX.

I also firmly believe in order to accomplish something, you sometimes have to be a pioneer and charge ahead in a direction the majority doesn't deem worthwhile, even if that means making mistakes and incurring aggressive dissent. Not everything can advance by committee or mass consensus.

Ubuntu de facto cancelling their desktop program to focus on the cloud sounds to me like the premature death of something that worked pretty well, at least for my use cases. I really hope that decision was not entirely based on petty open source community squabbling. I love Brian Lunduke (he has a pretty good open source podcast by the way), but I really find it hard to get behind his long-standing criticisms of Mir and Unity.

Among the arguments against Mir and Unity, I find the one based on duplication of effort the hardest to swallow. Innovation is an exploratory process. Sometimes that means many people coming up with many solutions. In other areas
of open source development this doesn't seem to be perceived as a problem. In fact, it's celebrated as a marker of freedom for giving the user a lot of choices.

But somehow, Ubuntu lost all of its public support, for no reason I can (as an outsider) readily identify. If this is symptomatic of the future of open source, it's a bad precedent.
I am in agreement. Especially considering they put up a front and try to show visitors a fake / happy version of the country.

People often boycott and don't like visiting circuses or shows that generally abuse and exploit animals (elephant shows in Thailand come to mind). I can't see why visiting NK is any different.
That's where liquid comes in. Dissolve your tab(s) in (pure!) water (or alcohol), then divide this liquid into as many parts as you need to get to your 10 or 15 micro-grams.

But you'll learn all this when you do your own careful research, which anyone approaching this domain is supposed to do anyways.
I'll suggest an approach that works for me: stop believing your thoughts and internal narratives.

They are not true and they are not 'you'. And even if they sometimes are accurate, they're not permanent or true in all cases. But mostly, they're just plain false, or hyperbole, or misunderstandings, or projections, or just plain random. They are just mind objects that pop in and out of your awareness, based on conditioning. Your mind will keep on supplying your awareness with the kinds of thoughts that it generally focuses on.

So here's how you do it: don't try and suppress your thoughts or make them go away. But when one pops into your head, simply note objectively that a thought popped up, categorise it as negative, positive, or neutral, and and allow it to go away. If it's got some utility to it, like "I need to feed the dog", follow it through. But don't get dragged into believing it, especially if its just negative and unhelpful.

Humouring your internal negative dialog is like arguing with crazy strangers on the internet. It's pointless and a waste of time. You don't have to take on and identify with their statements and opinions.

Here's a talk(it's from a Buddhist monk) on this very issue that might help you, if you're open to it.

Times change! Same Barclays that bailed itself out by lending to Qatar so they could buy back Barclays shares, which UK regulators signed off so one UK bank could appear solvent. Sant, who signed it off, got a job at Barclays shortly after.

Many posts here about how sad and disgusted people are. Not much about people taking personal responsibility.

What do people think the carrying capacity of the planet means? Sustaining more humans means sacrificing other life that competes for our resources. It means pollution rising until it doesn't quite kill us but is well above the levels of a pristine, clean environment.

Nobody wants to live near the carrying capacity because approaching it means sacrificing anything that doesn't keep us alive.

Every round trip flight across the country you take contributes almost one year's allotment from the Paris agreement for one person -- https://co2.myclimate.org/en/portfolios?calculation_id=71970.... Flying first class and you're well over it. Eating meat contributes a lot too. Having more kids in western cultures contributes significantly.

Who among us, reading this, hasn't gone over their annual limit in just a few hours of flying, not to mention their regular life otherwise? How many have blown past their Paris limits already this year?

Some would say the damage was done by past generations. Okay, well what beautiful part of nature will our behavior destroy years from now? People keep posting to HN that since we can't change that a lot will happen, it doesn't matter any more, we should just enjoy ourselves, but there are different degrees of destruction.

Alternatively, we can fly less, drive less, eat much less meat, and have fewer kids. We don't need to wait for legislation. In fact, it's the fastest way to get legislation, since politicians follow voters.

In my experience, acting on all those things improved my life tremendously (including not flying for a year+ http://www.inc.com/joshua-spodek/365-days-without-flying.htm...), more than almost anything else. I'm more fit, enjoy my neighborhood and neighbors, and spend less money and there's nothing special about me.
That's great and totally not the point I was making. My point was to counteract the claim that animal and crop production are equivalent in their impact on the environment, which is not accurate.

Whether it is worth the environmental impact is a different issue. Interestingly, googling 'vegetarian diabetic diet' suggests that a vegetarian diet may be healthier for diabetic people:

"Vegetarianism excludes high-calorie foods and animal products laden with saturated fats. It instead concentrates on foods that give necessary minerals and vitamins that help give diabetics a better chance of blood glucose control."

I don't know, could be. The strange thing however is that there have been cases where animals have shown clear reactions to such a treatment (which wouldn't make sense, given the fact that the "substance" was mixed into their food). Future will tell, I suppose.
Thankfully, you're still allowed to not have any CAA record for a domain. While I agree that in general it's a good thing, for my setup, the additional security it provides is not worth the hassle of upgrading PowerDNS past what comes with the OS (Debian 8 ships with 3.4.1, CAA requires 4.0.0).

Generally, I notice that the pace of standards requiring newer versions of software than what's shipping with the latest OS releases is increasingly quicker these days.

Like ALPN being required for HTTP/2 and not being supported by the latest stable version of Debian.

Cognitive behaviour therapy is evidence based, and short. A course of treatment takes about one hour per week for about 12 weeks.

It's effective for about 60% of the people who go through it.

Mindfulness and meditation are useful tools that give you a structured way to examine your thoughts.

> Whether you style in stylesheets or by some other means (CSS-in-JS?)

We're specifically talking here about putting styling logic - "left" "shiny" "big" etc - in HTML.

> is an implementation choice rather than something that affects the fundamental pattern.

Sure, you can still use a component pattern with styling split into HTML and stylesheets - it certainly doesn't effect the pattern.

The issue is: when you want to change the appearance of your component, do you want to modify styling logic in two places or one?
That W3 tips link is a decade old and not in any way normative. Appealing to it's authority is silly IMO and talking about semantic CSS like one does semantic HTML is even sillier as semantic CSS doesn't exist in the HTML sense.
Given the level of compliance & audit work required in the UK FS industry (look for example at the sizes of regulatory and operational risk teams) and the nature of career paths in the industry (senior figures tend to come up from the ranks quite often), I'd have to say I'd be really surprised if no-one in the senior management of affected banks was aware that Libor manipulation occurred.

That's not to say that there'll ever be enough evidence to prosecute that awareness, but the idea that they have no idea what goes on at lower levels, and that none of the 2nd/3rd line risk functions or Internal Audit did any work that would have uncovered that activity....
More on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryozka

We had something similar here (former Czechoslovakia, Tuzex shops) and probably in most of the other socialist countries (eg. Poland, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewex).

The only way to pay in these stores was to use special cheques. These were obtainable only in exchange for "western money", typically US Dollars, British Pounds, or German Marks.

And of course, there was a black market for them, with prices going as much as five times their nominal value (80s in Czechoslovakia, don't know about Poland and others, but I imagine it was quite similar).
I compared the output bundles (ran them back through a beautifier for sanity) and it looks like a lot of the benefit comes from the aggressive renaming.

Compare this section of the rollup output:

return e || (e = new zh({
enableLongStackTrace: dt()
})), e.run(function() {
var r = yh.resolveAndCreate([{
provide: zh,
useValue: e
}], n.injector),
o = t.create(r),
l = o.injector.get(th, null);
if (!l) throw new Error("No ErrorHandler. Is platform module (BrowserModule) included?");
return o.onDestroy(function() {
return _t(n._modules, o)
}), e.onError.subscribe({
next: function(t) {
l.handleError(t)
}
}), bt(l, function() {
return o.injector.get(bh).donePromise.then(function() {
return n._moduleDoBootstrap(o), o
})
})
})

To this from Closure compiler:

var c;
c || (c = new Af({
Lm: yh()
}));
return c.run(function() {
var d = Ne([{
sb: Af,
Be: c
}], a.s),
e = b.create(d),
f = e.s.get(ee, null);
if (!f) throw Error("No ErrorHandler. Is platform module (BrowserModule) included?");
e.ec(function() {
return Hh(a.mi, e)
});
c.hq.subscribe({
next: function(a) {
f.handleError(a)
}
});
return Ch(f, function() {
return e.s.get(Ze).xp.then(function() {
Eh(a, e);
return e
})
})
})

On top of that I did a basic comparison of the number of times the 'function' keyword is present in each bundle:

$ ag --count function eg-closure.js
eg-closure.js:2905

$ ag --count function eg-rollup.js
eg-rollup.js:4421

Whether this is from inlining or 'better' dead-code removal I can't really tell.
> How much is this specific life worth

We already do in healthcare, safety etc.

Roads claim lives, buildings claim lives, products claim lives. We balance costs in all those areas too.

I believe failing to answer those questions openly is a greater harm; You have no sense of improving quality of life, or increase human worth if you pretend it's universally priceless. If you refuse to set the price, others will.

> we'll be inviting proponents of human actuarial science, realpolitik, genocide, sterilization

why do you believe this? this are extreme examples. Conflating fascism with utilitarianism seems borderline slanderous.

> don't believe that people determine value well

They aren't going to improve if there are barred from doing so. What fills the gap if analytical methods don't? Even science started from fanciful roots, could we have had modern medicine without medieval doctors cutting up cadavers?

> While I reject utilitarianism as a whole

do you mean 'don't'?

> justified a disregard for life and atrocities against humanity

You seem to have a sabotaged "brave new world" definition of utilitarianism.

That seems hyperbolic. Ubuntu is popular and pretty mainstream for a Linux distribution. That will always attract hate and virulent nay-saying, as well as valid and constructive criticism.
