It's a difficult trade-off, even for me as a user. The fact that I can load Slack on all my devices and in the browser definitely played a role in my adoption of it. The fact that Slack is dog-slow and a memory-hog on my MacBook Air, on the other hand, has kept me from using it as a central part of my own work. Similarly, I am actively pushing everyone I communicate with the switch from WhatsApp to Telegram because the latter has a performant native app.

If I were to build an app where cross-platform support was crucial, I'd probably start with Electron as well because of time and budget concerns, and switch to native if the app 'takes off'. But on the other hand, I can imagine there being serious risks to building out an entire platform that way and having to rebuild it from scratch later on. Maybe there's never budget/time for it, leaving me locked in?

I suppose React Native could help in that regard.
I, too, am waiting for a cross-publisher content network. I'd easily pay $30/mo, instead of the $0 I'm paying now.

But, for the individual publisher, this would mean the end of their current subscriber base and 70%+ of revenue. I'm pretty sure the NYT has a spreadsheet somewhere, and currently it's still saying that they are likely to lose out in such a model.

If they get, say, 10% of my $30, that's $3 x 12 = $36, which is about 1/10 of their current price. Could they increase their subscriber base by an order of magnitude with such a model? I'd say it's possible, but it's just too big a risk right now. And the numbers may be less favourably for smaller outfits.
There's literally not a single comment in this thread comparing C to Rust, and yet Rust fanatics are the ones derailing here? Care to elaborate, my good friend?
troll level extreme is all I can think about.. If thats not the case then clueless is the only other way to describe this.
Disagree. Gaming the system with falsehoods doesn't earn affection. The experiment was well setup and executed, and the headline is catchy, if not wholly accurate on the "hate".

Bottom line- the author is a deft digital marketer, and the article is a good read for the like.
Right, admirable of you to admit that you're full of shit. :) Carry on!
Proper isolation of a Linux bridge
The threading model in Zulip is genius. It's the perfect marriage between instant messaging and email.

Other things I like about it:

- e-mail addresses in addition to nicknames

- working full text search over everything

- plenty of well thought out keyboard shortcuts

- high quality production tooling (they even have Nagios checks, out of the box!)
I agree with both of these.

With the power that even average machines have now, it beggars belief that we ever see a spinner at all for normal desktop-related stuff.
I can tell you haven't used the new emulator in some time. It's just as fast as the iOS simulator.
You are right, it looks different: awful. It is even more cloudy than the syntax of bash.
I thought this is an allusion to the movie THX 1138
Bash for Windows... Bash is a Unix shell. Linux is an operating system. Completely different concepts.

Bash on Windows has existed for decades now, through Cygwin. https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=x86_64%2Fba...

Trying to reduce the entire GNU/Linux ecosystem to "Bash" is insulting to the community you are trying to appeal to:

Linux is an immensely large and complex project, which has millions of lines of code. The GNU part of GNU/Linux has a couple of more millions of lines of code as well. Bash is small in comparison.
> snuck me some non-FDA approved drops with chlorine in them

Yikes! I mean, that'd do it, but yikes.

I wonder how much chlorine it takes. Would swimming in the local pool with your eyes open help count as treatment? Probably not, the article says it's "common in tap water, sea water and swimming pools." Still.
Can you replace Ubuntu? Maybe, if you are OK with 14.04 LTS level support.

The latest Creators update uses 16.04 LTS.

you can't send a ping without an admin level windows shell

The latest Creators update supports ping as a non-admin.

---

I would say that for most usages it is a good replacement for vanilla Ubuntu. Microsoft is quickly closing the gaps in support. Most stuff simply works (albeit disk filesystem I/O is still a bit slow). For instance, I used it to compile packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and upload it to a PPA without much trouble. At the time the only change I had to make was using fakeroot-tcp rather than regular fakeroot. But maybe that is fixed now.

It is especially useful if you like to work in a Unix, but also need Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, or other applications that are not available on Linux.
Amazon continues to grow lead over Google as starting point for online shoppers
Last time that I tried QT was a huge pain compared to WPF or other solutions, admittedly something like 5-6 years ago.
And it was proprietary and it needed a licence.
With all my good will I find quite difficult to believe that now PyQT is the silver bullet to write all UIs.
For sure it's not for me given that I find python a pretty average language with the huge handicap of duck typing (and before someone starts, yes, I'm aware of the 'type annotations')

In no particular order:

Why Turing completeness? In particular, you're not going to be able to realize the execution of an arbitrary Turing machine, so why not restrict to a subset you can actually compute and do your modeling in that non-complete framework?

I don't think you can complete the torus in x, y, t (as there's no way to close the time dimensionl, so why not use a structure that is dimensionally symmetric? Similarly, hexagonal prism tiling is strange -- why not a tiling that is x, y, t symmetric?

Do you actually even want it to be "imperative" time, where you're stepping the simulation in clock cycles? Why not look for 3D universes that satisfy a set of constraints? (This might let you use a symmetric torus.)

I sort of get the lack of boundary, but why not simulate that in an "infinite" space rather than a closed one? Wouldn't this allow a more tractable simulation?

Why conservation laws? How do you plan to enact them?

If you have a discussion page, it might work better to talk about it there, since I think some of these questions get fairly involved.
Microsoft adds this amazing set of features and the only response you have is "your name is insulting the people you're trying to appeal to"? "Trying"? As if they're failing? Do you know how much people love this project?

Full text:

>Except as provided below, the airline must give each passenger who qualified for involuntary denied boarding compensation a payment by cash or check for the amount specified above, on the day and at the place the involuntary denied boarding occurs. If the airline arranges alternate transportation for the passenger's convenience that departs before the payment can be made, the payment shall be sent to the passenger within 24 hours. The air carrier may offer free or discounted transportation in place of the cash payment. In that event, the carrier must disclose all material restrictions on the use of the free or discounted transportation before the passenger decides whether to accept the transportation in lieu of a cash or check payment. The passenger may insist on the cash/check payment or refuse all compensation and bring private legal action.

Right and in the article the doctors even felt like they caught it early. They gave her powerful medication and even surgical replacements.

Her case just make have been incredibly invasive? The medication may have pushed the infection deeper into the eye or surrounding tissue, or it may have developed resistance.
How about performance? As I understand, it uses fat pointers fat pointers and GC, so performance drop is expected. There are not many reasons to use C nowadays beside performance.
> One thing I've been hoping for is inventing some form of advertising that was actually fun for the user -- fun enough that they would not want to block them.

You should take a look at the sponsored lenses on Snapchat. Nowhere else on the internet are ads so engaging and enjoyable. This is also why I think Snapchat had a chance to really take on Facebook, until FB sucked up and started copying everything from Snapchat.
That leads to a very strange sentence since 'programmer' is already used. More importantly 'programmer' doesn't work well as "thing you don't want to be". Instead you've left that category of word entirely. "Dork" is about as minimally-derogatory as you can get without losing the meaning entirely. And it doesn't feed any kind of discrimination.
Yes, the news.
How to "hack" Tinder (=get a lot of responses):

Ok, this is awesome, if everything works as advertised.

I have been mostly a Linux user for quite some time - at least on my own computer, clients always have Windows. But this year I bought a Surface Pro as a secondary device.

I first evaluated WSL and really liked it, but I switched to Hyper+Git Bash because networking in node.js was not working properly, and because I could not start Windows programs from the command line.

Now, if both problems are really fixed now, I guess I will switch back to WSL, and maybe uninstall Hyper+Git Bash later (given that I do not find any other show stoppers)...
Bandai Namco and from Software Make Their Farewell on 'Dark Souls 3'
As a former contact lens wearer, infections like these, amongst a lot of other reasons, are why I chose PRK (laser eye surgery). Statistically, there's a higher chance of infection with wearing contacts than there is with receiving laser eye surgery[0]. I paid about $3k and came out with better vision than I had with glasses/contacts. The only negative side effects I've noticed are slight starbursts around lights at night, but its never been a problem and now I rarely notice it.

I would also recommend PRK over LASIK because LASIK requires permanent flaps to be cut on the surface of your eyes. This can sometimes lead to some nasty accidents with the flap being damaged in certain cases. PRK has been around a lot longer and requires wearing bandages over the eyes for a couple of weeks, which is why LASIK became more popular for a while (i.e. the flaps act as bandages). But now they can provide contact bandages for PRK where you aren't blind and useless for weeks making LASIK less desirable.

I'd argue that with heavy use of macros one can change C quite substantially. Case in point is the linked Cello library.

Pure C with few macros is quite refreshing to read. But it can get hairy quite quickly.

Are you on Microsoft's payroll? Do you have like a Slac-- Skype Teams room where you coordinate the downvotes?
Likewise.

A cursory search turns up a couple links.[0][1] It seems to involve the fact they had to deplane passengers who had already boarded, rather than merely deny them boarding.

It is nevertheless a wasted resource that could be used better. Indirectly it will cause all tickets fares to fall down which will benefit the people that actually flies. I'm not against overbooking but forcefully expelling a passenger is just another step in the direction of making taking an airplane just such a shitty experience. The correct, common sense, ethical and business savvy way to proceed would have been to start bidding until some passengers sold back their tickets. That would have been fair instead of some fixed compensation that doesn't take into account all kinds of inconveniences you will suffer because of losing your flight. I try to avoid taking airplanes nowadays which is quite sad considering I'm an aerospace engineer. My only positive thought is that airports are a nice contained experiment everybody is forced to watch of what happens to people when there is a power imbalance, even if you live in a democracy.
Where is your proof? More importantly, why would the FBI want to hack your MacBook Pro in the first place? If that's the case, they know you posted this and they'll just have to find another way to spy on you.
Not necessarily, I have computer-related content which gets results like this (a bit better than this, but I assumed that the parent poster was exaggerating a bit about the 3x10^6 traffic). The problem is quite notorious, and AdSense now refuses new "tech" content.
This is exactly what we did at Techcrunch. The ads sold and we went from $3k a month ad revenue from bad ads with ad sense to $30k a month (the format where it is the square ads in the sidebar - which almost every other blog adopted)

It can work if you're trusted and selling influence.

Later on when we wanted to run some of the high end campaigns and exclusives we ran OpenX

I think serving your own ads is a solution to a lot of ad and media problems that needs to be encouraged. Its strange to me that so many companies hand over so much of their webpage real estate and user trust to what are often complete strangers
US intelligence in 1940/1941 had a pretty good idea that the Germans were nowhere near the ability to build a bomber that could make the flight from France to the US east coast and back. Reference:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerika_Bomber

Building something with significantly more range than a B-29 (which at that time existed as preliminary blueprints only) was something they knew the Germans were nowhere near.
I haven't yet seen a substantial desktop app built with React Native and afaik neither FB nor GitHub is investing in React Native for desktop so generally this is hard to say. React Native is more of a framework whereas Electron is a runtime-- much different goals though both are super cool and I'm enthusiastic about the future of both!

Proud. The US prison system is oppressive garbage. Good for the inmates.
Censorship is the suppression of content in order to exercise political power and control. Refusing to show something because it means you'll make less profit is not censorship; refusing to show it because you have an ideological belief that the viewer shouldn't see it is. Consequently I guess it'd be next to impossible to demonstrate a business is actually censoring content rather than removing it for the benefit of the business.

The end result is the same regardless of what you call it though. That's what needs to be addressed.
This gets onto very shaky ground. What if I'm in a console and only browse with w3m or lynx? What if I simply disable all Images and Javascript (older web browsers made disabling images really simple; back when we had very limited dial-up bandwidth).

Can websites dictate what web browsers you use? Are you violating an agreement by using a different User-Agent?

No, no and no. You are requesting data and your browser renders it. If you write your own browser to request and render the data differently, I don't see any issue with copyright.

It's not that I'm against OCaml, I've tried to learn it a few times but the toolchain was a PITA. The benefits of self-hosting is that the more you use TypeScript, the more qualified you become to contribute, to troubleshoot, and to if-necessary help shoulder the burden of maintenance should Facebook/Microsoft decide it's no-longer profitable.
Where can I find a good list of pros and cons for Flow and TypeScript?

I've been really enjoying Flow, and I have experienced all of the benefits mentioned in this article. I'm using VSCode, and the Flow integration is really good. Feels like a full IDE for Javascript, without being bloated and slow. (Startup is a little slower than Sublime, but it's very fast once everything has loaded.)

I'm wondering if I'm missing out on anything by choosing Flow instead of Typescript.

I've been developing React and React Native apps, and it seems like Flow is the default choice for that ecosystem. Has anyone switched from Flow to Typescript, and how did it go?
It's only the linking stage that uses a lot of RAM and if you're building a single binary that's single threaded anyway. But if you need swap to link, it's going to take forever, and nowadays plenty of things need more than 1G to link (especially if you enable LTO)
I have no problem with that but then let's stop calling this random.
Or this is just the spin the prison puts on it to make it sound worse, and to justify their own incompetence. Imagine if this didn't happen at all, and the inmates used this just to get online. This is what I assume.
