For me? The environment/runtime.

I can write a simple program in C/C++/go/rust/etc, and compile and run it.

In Java, a bloated IDE isn't just a recommendation, it's practically a requirement.

Evey time I try to learn Java, I smack my head against the toolchain. I ended up just giving up when I tried to wrap my head around classpath, and haven't tried since. I could probably figure it out pretty easily now, but I just don't see any allure in learning Java anyway.

One of these days, I might start using Clojure, but the JVM just feels so messy that I don't want to start.
Of course not. There aren't any or the moderator hasn't approved any.

I agree.

I feel this is just a sign Google is playing a bit of catch-up (maybe even a tiny bit of desperation) in getting curved OLED displays. There's only so much capacity available, with Samsung and Apple eating up most of what's coming out.

Even if a billion dollar check was cashed today, that will only bring online one plant, which won't be ready to ship products for a few months at best...
>Actually, Google pays under the average of top companies, because as a top tier company, they can afford. Most people I know who went to work for Google took a pay cut but don't have a single regret about it.

Compared to who? They pay more than AMZN/MS/FB/AAPL/etc. for equal level, but are stingier with levels. You might be correct that certain other companies pay more than Google (Netflix maybe?), but they're certainly above average.
On S7 / Chrome, animations like accordion and message dismissal all lag heavily.

https://github.com/luke-jr/bips/blob/bip-blksize/bip-blksize..., which includes a reference implementation. It does optionally include an immediate reduction, followed by a gradual increase. This was developed, as far as I understand, because Luke felt it fulfilled his personal end of the HK agreement -- to develop a hard-fork proposal.

To quote the intro:
> The block size limit is reduced to a reasonably safe value (optional), and gradually increased over time, eventually expanding beyond the current limits.
> Meanwhile, Oracle owns a lot of Java products

That doesn't make Oracle bad or Pivotal good.
But you can't guarantee that random blogs don't host porn either.
We use a really simple custom wiki. I don't know who/what team in the company made it, but the left side of the page is just boxes (headings) with links (subheadings). The main bulk of the page is an iframe (again, I didn't make it and not what I'd use) that loads the link clicked on (theory is to keep the url static and prevent linking to specific sections, again I'm not on this team). I can't share pictures for legal reasons, but my email is in the bio if you want to talk further.

Works extremely well, though. Non-tech-savy people can even fly around it, and people with a special cookie get editing rights. No need to over engineer it really, if it's just documentation you could even make a private subreddit and use the wiki feature there, giving editing rights to some users and preserving a commit-style edit history.

Even the Apple OS X (or what used to be called OS X) Server app has a wiki built in.

I definitely learned calculus from the Calculus classes. I took calculus 3 recently for credits with no difficulty remembering anything relevant from 1/2. Some things I could give right now off the top of my head are the definition of an integral/derivative, squeeze theorem, mean value theorem, integration by parts, epsilon delta definition of a limit, second/third derivative tests, and a lot more. Test me with something if you want.

Semantic UI is something I personally use for a few projects, but I really wish some of this stuff didn't require so much javascript and was more encapsulated like Tachyons [1]. The main problem I've encountered when using Semantic UI is that it becomes difficult to change the prebuild components significantly.

As a software developer and farmer (and owner of some John Deere equipment), it doesn't seem that unbelievable to me. I know quite a few farmers who also work in tech. The capital intensive nature of the business means that many come from other high paying professions, of which tech jobs tend to be among, to support the habit.

Although from everything I have read on the subject, source code does not really seem to be what people are after. They just want to have equal access to manuals and tools that the authorized dealers have. The guy in the service truck isn't modifying source code either.

Hey, I do high-assurance systems too. High-assurance security where input or environment might be malicious. Even in my constraints, the systems are designed so the parts can be replaced without magic software. The big complaint about JD seems to be them using software constructs to prevent fixing tractors or common extensions. The former should not be hard as JD just has to allow products with certain specs for what will work. The second might require a combination of that with a more manual, operating mode with some automation disabled. Less complexity than what JD is putting in there.

So, Im not buying it even if you worked on the team. They could design it for cheap fixes for parts easily. They could allow more extensions than they let on by turning off some automation. They are instead applying the well-tested concept of lockin both with software and their request to copyright office to make mods illegal. This is to increase profit of their near monopolistic dominance of a lot of the market (esp rural areas).
Well, I should say that I respect and appreciate your response. Certainly I can't truly think through the universal problem space, as no one can.

I also feel that at least my government (in the US) is so owned by corporations and the wealthy that it no longer represents my interests, and I tend to reject any solutions that endow in that government certain powers. As such I would disagree with intellectual property on philosophical grounds even if I didn't disagree with it on technical grounds. I simply don't think it's the government's place to attempt to fix markets in this way, and I don't want to be subject to it.

As it is, I see extreme waste in our world from intellectual property laws that ultimately send manufactured goods to the garbage dump sooner than they need be disposed of. Cars that could be repaired, if only an electronic module wasn't subject to monopoly control and unnecessarily high prices. I see poor children unable to access high quality textbooks despite the information being readily copyable. I see developing nations struggling to get on their feet while the rich nations keep their valuable knowledge to themselves.

I don't mind technological means of obfuscation, because those at least can fail. 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 reject the idea that no one would write books in this new future, but I do understand the change would bring about great new problems that need to be solved.

But it is my life goal to find ways to reduce the marginal cost of human survival to zero, so we can care for everyone voluntarily. In order to do that, we absolutely must eliminate artificially inflated costs in that chain. That can be done voluntarily through the creation of an open commons, which I believe is more realistic, or it can be done more powerfully through the weakening and ultimate elimination of IP protection laws.

But you are correct that the real change that is needed is not an end to IP laws, but the stimulation of a culture which values sharing out of a love for one another. I believe that only a culture based on love can truly thrive.

How many lines of code does it take to register as the largest you've dealt with? The largest I dealt with took 45 minutes to grab the repo. I don't state that as a point of honor, more like a point in needless over-effort.

I don't get reactive or functional. I get, step 1 do something, step 2 if something then do step 4 else step 3. Those were really the days. I guess if I could have my dream framework today it would be just Java and some Apache jars and some Google jars, maybe an odd jar here or there. And Eclipse, always Eclipse.

I'd also steer clear of anyone who can quote GoF or Fowler.

Inferred types are nice.

They make cleaner, and therefore, more readable code. That is the main thing people want from dynamic typing anyway. It's really not very common to change the type of a variable, and a statically typed codebase is more predictable, and therefore easier to manage.
That first thing you said was what Trusted Computing Group was all about but with whitelisting & chips instead of perfect crypto. Such things were fought well but App Stores succeeded. For "security" reasons, hardware support will show up in products that incidentally reinforce the DRM parts. Good news is vendors keep differentiating on increased control of product & ASIC costs means there's usually debug hardware in it to tap into. ;)
Less than $1M? Then my personal business would evaporate because everyone would copy it for free. I provide value to people and they pay me and it supports my family.

> If a team of hundred of engineers struggle with their codebase internally, Joe Farmer isn't going to have a fucking clue how to repair their software correctly.

> But trust me on this, locking this down is a very good idea.

Joe Farmer may not know, but Joe farmer has "the internet", and ability to pay an independent software engineer. And people would absolutely find and fix bugs that john deer is missing.

Honestly, your argument sounds so ridiculous, it sounds like saying "it's to protect the children from terrorism."
It doesn't sound like the farmers are asking to rewrite or replace that software. It sounds like they are just asking to be able to make the same kind of repairs that their local dealer makes.
The sad fact is that even these devastating developments do not make us change systemically to the extent required to counterfeit them.
Actually by the numbers, gmax posts almost more than anyone else in r\btc. So that's just incorrect.

Neither does Blockstream "employ" the developers in a bitcoin-development capacity. The number of people it employs to develop Bitcoin is something like. 1.5. That's out of hundreds of people.

The apparent consensus amongst the literally hundreds of individuals who have contributed to core should be demonstrative of the fact that a majority of technically-aware developers think SW is the safest and best way to increase on-chain capacity—this is a developer majority just by the numbers themselves.
Heading to East side is better, yea. And actually, if you are already on Mercer it's not as bad. Getting across from Westlake ish means the bus routinely goes slower than walking speed. Can walk to Fremont faster...
As someone who recently start learning to program GPUs, I enjoyed this read. I particularly find the concept of a linear algebra-aware type system compelling. I love the idea of the type system statically checking that I'm performing operation in and between correct vector spaces. Is the fact that Vulkan uses SPIR-V sufficient to support creation of languages to allow this to be implemented?
Let people run their own software. If they kill someone, hold them liable. If deaths become endemic, then consider locking them down.

As many comments on these stories demonstrate, farmers have as much valid reasons to have control over their equipment as John Deere has for preventing it.

Technology is always about trade-offs. It's just that John Deere took things too far.
Everybody likes to feel taken advantage of.

If I was a business owner or engineer that built systems this complex and you asked me to not lock it down, I'd call you freaking crazy.

These are very expensive and complex machines, and you want my competition or some farmer who has no idea what he's doing to access and modify it?

No thank you.

Google keeps proprietary code. And that's for auto complete...
That is incorrect. Literally nobody expects blocksize to stay at 1MB permanently. If they did, SW wouldn't exist, since that is a blocksize increase to about 2MB.
Okay, no one has actually explained how Semantic UI overcomes this.

What if in the future you decide to switch from Semantic UI to something else?

My original idea went further and was aimed at the media industry, fake news etc. The comment was actually someone who disagreed with the content and wanted to "re-write" the content for a particle point. There comment would then be invlined in the article if u wanted to have that "view".

Then you could trust certain people (upvote) and automatically read future content with these peoples POV inlined where the original content was.

i def feel like a feature where as u scroll, comments are automatically revealed on a side-panel is a good idea. i dont like the fact i need to mouse-over commnets to read them.

There is no requirement to use an ide in Java. I've never written Java in anything other than emacs and never had a problem.

> Do the Blockstream people even speak out against the censorship on /r/bitcoin?

Yes, gmax has, literally every time he is asked about it. His complaint is that r\btc as an organizational/policy difference is a worse place. That's by comparison. -- Which it is, since e.g. users like /u/pagex still haven't been banned after direct physical threats.
Yeah, good riddance!

Literally there's another solution that has nothing to do with Segwit. gmax himself proposed it to block off covert ASICBoost. Here's a link:

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017...

Also, miners do not establish consensus. That is why if a miner mines an invalid block, even if other miners extend it, no nodes will accept it.
I really wonder if the 'job creation' that goes with the mining and dredging they want to do to the dying reef will counterbalance the estimated 100,000 jobs in the tourism industry that are predicted to disappear once the reef is completely dead and no one wants to visit any more.

Then again, I guess it is not really about the jobs per se, but rather the $$$ kickback in royalties and 'spotters fees' that are paid into political campaign funds for passing the wrong bills through parliament.
I saw a documentary about Pokies that suggested that this framing of gambling as being an individual's problem instead of a problem with an industry that is specifically designed to use weaknesses in human psychology to extract the maximum amount of money from them was a deliberate tactic to prevent useful legislation being passed, because it's then up to the gambler with the problem rather than the institution of gambling to control their gambling.

Never mind that those people are literally the least qualified to control their gambling addiction.

Hi, guys,

We have spent hundreds of hours build a new website with Semantic-UI for Semantic-UI: http://semantic-ui-forest.com/.

Semantic-UI is my favourite front-end CSS website, I have built several websites with Semantic-UI, and I love it, feel delightful when developing with Semantic-UI.

But compared with Bootstrap, the ecosystem of Semantic-UI is small, so we have semantic-ui-forest for you: http://semantic-ui-forest.com/posts/2017-04-05-introducing-s... .

In this website, we have ported 16 themes from bootswatch(bootstrap) to Semantic-UI (http://semantic-ui-forest.com/themes), and also, we have ported 18 official bootstrap examples (https://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples) and reimplemented in Semantic-UI (http://semantic-ui-forest.com/templates/).

Not advertising, however, we think this maybe helpful for people who are interested in Semantic-UI and want to give it a try.
Keep in mind that LEDs and CRTs are two completely different things. CRTs have "phosphor decay," where a pixel hit by the electron beam will gradually turn on and fade out over time until being refreshed again. For LEDs, they're normally operated using a PWM; turn them off (0% brightness) and back on (100% brightness) fast enough and people don't really notice that instead of 50% constant brightness, they're getting 0%, 100%, 0%, 100% ... with a duty cycle of 50%.

You can see that even with LCD monitors. LCD monitors with a LED backlight will have a display refresh (ie. how often the pixels can change color) of, say, 60 Hz but the LED backlight might be run at 4 to 8 KHz (ie. how often the whole backlight turns on and off to give different brightness levels).
What is “brain hacking”?

Could you illustrate what you mean by "bloated syntax"?

Everything else you mention (besides native executables) Java also has. From what I can see, Java provides far better concurrency support - more paradigms than simply go routines.
Definitely. Someone else here pointed out all the greatest innovations in CompSci came during 1960-1980's when patent suits were much lower. Mostly government or corporate R&D just pushing the envelope. There's ways to do good hardware-level security I can't touch because the patent creates too much leverage on me. And many vague patents by "Non-Practicing Entities" who didn't build crap cover the same area. I could be hit with who knows how many suits. And looking at them triples the damages so I don't. Only reason I know about those is I accidentally found them googling CompSci papers.

You can bet companied and Universities will still invent stuff if there aren't patents. The companies will do it or acquire it for competitive advantage. The Universities for prestige, investments from companies, creating talented workforce, and so on. Im for software patents, esp on INFOSEC, to be banned entirely as I see no negative impact on high-impact projects.
