For me, it's very simple: visually and UX-wise, Twitter is a toxic hellstew. I'm no fan of Facebook (and I've since given up entirely on it), but at least I can pretty much figure out what's going on in most of my friends' lives today by scrolling down. With Twitter, I no longer scroll. I open it and give up almost immediately. There's no coherent thread through anything, it's just an unrelenting wash of unrelated complaints, marketing messages, ads, and racist/sexist nightmare fuel.

Twitter (and Facebook, for that matter) is a net loss for humanity, IMO.

But a structural change could be a bug.

The iron rule of software is that changes in the product have a reason behind them. If your UI tests break because of a structural change, that break should be anticipated while the corresponding story/feature is being developed.

In the past, when we faced test failures which seemed annoying and trivial, we discovered that the real reason why we never anticipated those failures was because we never know which tests to run for the feature or page in question. We are hoping to fix that by using robust, semantic tags for tests. So, where we used to have tags like @TC_123456 we now use tags like @Login_UI etc.
If they think (a) their seat is safe and (b) nothing can unseat Corbyn short of an election loss and (c) the party can't win an election with Corbyn at the helm; then they might figure they might as well unseat Corbyn in 2017 and have a fighting chance in the 2022 election; rather than unseating Corbyn in 2020 and hoping to win the 2025 election.

Of course, if they think their seat isn't safe; or they think they can dump Corbyn early and win in 2020; it's easy to imagine them opposing an election.
>I haven't thought of it like that. But it would seem one is an unconscious reaction, spurred on by the autonomous nervous system, while the other is a (seemingly) conscious choice (if we don't get into determinism).

OK, I thought you weren't only talking about unconscious processes but also short-term decision-making like "I'm not going to try this unknown berry because it might kill me". I don't know why I used the word "instinct", since that implies unconscious processes indeed.

As for the rest, I completely agree with everything you said, my point was mainly what I expressed in my last sentence, regarding the reaction an "untrained" human mind would have, which of course can be overcome with some effort.

Absolutely. I've been concerned about Apple lately, for various reasons, but the last thing I'd want them to do is 'scale up', become more like a 'normal' huge corporation. It might be better for me in the short term, but worse for Apple in the longer-term.

On the timescale that I care about, I feel my concerns are premature. In the decade that I've been using Apple stuff they've surprised me often enough (iPhone, iPad, possibly Apple Watch, and the AirPods). I think a primary reason for the success is their 'weird' way of operating (similar to Nintendo, I feel).
The most common ones I've seen are unclosed sockets or other connections due to bad logic in try/catch/finally blocks.
How about their massive payroll?

I run Debian in a chroot on my Asus Flip via Crouton. It works brilliantly. Chrome manages the hardware, power management, networking, etc; and then I can pull up a terminal and it's a full Debian system. There is X integration, but I don't use it, so I can't comment there.

If you don't want to install Crouton, it's possible to do some moderately clunky development using Chrome Developer Tool's little-known IDE feature; you can point it at a local directory and edit files there. That allows HTML/JS development directly on an unmodified Chromebook, including the integrated debugger. It's not brilliant, though. If you want to go that route your best bet is a cloud development platform (which requires a network connection, of course).

I wonder if its possible to port vscode to run inside Chrome as a downloadable webapp?

Full disclosure: I work at OpenNebula.

We believe OpenNebula is a very good alternative to OpenStack. It's a completely open source product, with many strengths. Very easy to setup and to maintain, without the big mess that is required by OpenStack. Plus, users don't get caught in all the politics (lots of vendors pulling in their direction).

I certainly recommend you check it out.

> Anyway the gist is that it isn't the case that city government people simply don't have to keep proper financial records.

That's one local government of tens of thousands. I'd be less optimistic about, say, a rural county in West Virginia, or something like that, having anything like proper financial records and the motivation to provide them.

The kind of governments I'm skeptical about aren't hugely important for a top-down analysis of the country's finances simply because they're financially the least wealthy. What I'm surprised about is how optimistic everyone is about the nation's recordkeeping and how everyone assumes that every government works roughly the same way. I've heard horror stories about counties that cannot even keep track of who owns what land/mineral rights, and sometimes have their own corrupt reasons for not trying very hard. The world will need to change before some of those places are motivated to improve.
It's mentioned in their website that they'll be sending the invitations by April 18,2017.
Chrome allows you to turn any website into it's own app, but saving a website such as Google Earth to your bookmarks then drag that to chrome://apps and right click on it and choose Open Full Screen and create short cut. So it will you will be able to open it like an app and find it in spotlight/alfred and you can still use chrome for websites separately.

It uses Native Client, but seems that at some time development of NaCl had been stopped[1] so it's strange that new Google product still uses this technology. Maybe they'll port it to Webassembly later. Or maybe plans had changed and they're betting on NaCl, Talk plugin and other activexey stuff.

So, a question: is it better or worse that the usage of GCs has changed the mindset of developers to stop worrying about allocation/freeing of resources ?

Given that developers still need to worry about freeing/releasing native resources, I think it might have inadvertently created a false sense of security and, in the process, resulted in developers that don't even possess this type of thinking anymore. We ran into this with the .NET Data Provider for one of our database engines. A good portion of .NET developers that used it were surprised to find out that they needed to call the Dispose method on certain database objects in order to free/release their native handles/resources. This was followed by a period of confusion about what to dispose of, and what not to dispose of (like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2024021/does-the-dispose-...).

I was about to say the same thing. People keep wanting Twitter to be Facebook.
We've already had it! Any democracy without a free vote is a sham. Democracies have free speech, and their citizens ought to have a free conscience and privacy is a cornerstone of that - or do you wish to find out what we have to hide (plenty), make windows into all our souls and still want to know what we really, really think? Certainly democracies do not depend on nudge politics, dog-whistle tactics or the thought police, allow people to associate freely and not have to submit to arbitrary detention and interrogation and most often of all have a Law which is the same for everyone regardless of status and those who make the Law make it and those who rule on the Law do not fear for their lives! Democracies rarely have chiefs of police warning about police states. Perhaps you are unawares of your party's late-night retro-active legislation making what was once illegal legal. What sort of democracy is that? One more redolent of Pyongyang than Putney. Brexit is a nasty little englanders' nationalist working class pipe dream on something that will never be again. If you don't want to be offended by being called a fascist don't support a fascist party and hold fascist views actually.

even the trivial jail time of 30 days is not what he'll actually serve--that's apparently only 13 days.

towards the end of the article:

"The parties had apparently decided to knock the two days off what was effectively a 15-day jail sentence, making it 13 for Gattani. And Gattani would be allowed to serve the weekends first, in accordance with his preference."

(the "two days" refers to portions of two consecutive days Gattani spent in jail immediately after his arrest.)

the sentence is of course based on the crime he was charged with--but he crime he was charged with was not "felony assault", instead it was watered down to avoid any chance that he'll be deported.

But to 36-year-old Rastogi’s dismay, the top charge against Abhishek was reduced from felony assault to felony accessory after the fact, with an accompanying misdemeanor of “offensive touching.”

so those nine or so loud whacks heard in the audio recording--the sound of Gattani hitting his wife on the side of the head with a closed fist--were just "offensive touching"

and the "accessory after the fact" is just bizarre. Gattani wasn't an accessory to the assault, he was the assailant--the only one!

The particular type of accessory--"after the fact"--refers to someone who did not even participate in the primary offense, but was only involved after it was committed (eg, usually invoked when someone conceals or destroys evidence of the crime).

and even to that Alice-in-Wonderland charge, Gattani only had to plead "no contest"; apparently he wasn't required to plead "guilty" to get the benefit of the plea bargain.
You don't need to worry about it if you're B2B. Also you only need to registered for VAT once you hit 85k in revenue, so it might be worth considering if it'd be worth you delaying until that point.

Intellectually very dishonest, especially considering Zcash's Ceo (yes, that actually exists) response on some twitter-'trolling': https://twitter.com/AeonCoin/status/854247126473228288

A niche product that has revenue in the billions and hundreds of millions of users. That's not a bad niche. I think Twitter should embrace this and do as much as they can to serve their fans and stop chasing growth.

So like I said, they didn't sufficiently think over the memory subsystem?

GPUs can transpose matrices in shared memory and register space in several different ways that are all efficient. I'm guessing that you are describing the transposed matrices required for calculating deltas and weight gradients here? If so, then I see, it's more than just the fact it has one-tenth the bandwidth of a consumer GPU it's just a less flexible architecture in the first place. One would hope they fix that for the second generation TPU which I assume they're working on already. That said I've yet to encounter a network that requires double-precision math to converge. Have you?

Half Precision can be tricky, but the same trick Nervana uses (dynamic fixed point) can be emulated in software and it has been used for graphics for decades. I specifically made use of it in an OpenGL engine 20 years ago for high resolution texture sampling.

As for Nervana IP, IMO they need to ship something soon or NVIDIA'S going to ship a GPU on par with it.

VS Code is subsidized by Microsoft. Sublime Text is a single guy. FOSS in this case is a big company copying a single individual and destroying their business by doing a better job than that single individual.

No, it's not. From the same article I linked before: "But a small number of Remain voters were apparently glad the vote did not go their way, with two per cent saying Brexit was in fact the best part of 2016"

So 4% of 'leave' voters regret voting leave and 2% of 'remain' voters regret voting 'remain'. So in total it's about a 2% shift which would reverse the current result percentages.

I wonder how old the author is. I "knew" the XXX convention was from CSRG, and Bill Joy would have been my first guess. I expect most people who worked with Unix in the '70s or early '80s would have guessed the same. I read a lot of Bell Labs Unix source, never saw XXX, and immediately noticed it when I got my first BSD tapes, especially in areas where Joy had worked. (BSD 4.1c, I think.)
