I recently went and I think my favorite island was Koh Lanta. It is not super commercialized like Phuket and still absolutely beautiful. We rented a scooter and cruised around the whole island where we could pull up to any beach we wanted on our own time. Most of the southern beaches had maybe 1 or 2 people. There is also a really cool national park at the southern tip.

I would also recommend taking a day trip to Koh Phi Phi/Maya bay, however go very very early. It will get crowded quickly, but it is one of the most amazing places I've ever been too. I have never seen water that blue in my entire life. Highly recommend going snorkling there if you get a chance.

Another semi low-key spot we went to was Railay Beach/Ao Nang. It wasn't low-key as Koh Lanta but it was a lot of fun and not very commercialized.

We actually completely stayed away from Phuket other than flying into the airport. The above suggestions were all from some friends that lived there for a couple years and we had an absolute blast.
The story may be a bit exaggerated for entertainment purposes, but this seems like a classic case of "try to fix first, ask questions later". They could have saved a lot of time by asking the customer for clarification first.
No kidding? What I was trying to say (I thought I was pretty clear) is that we're really only considering institutional languages here. As it turns out to my knowledge theyre basically all the same.
If I consulted what I believed to be a reputable website for information, not being aware that it contained nothing but plausible but randomly generated information, I think I would still be considered to be conducting outside research. I'd imagine that intent here matters.
No, Patreon has two options: Monthly and Per Release, which has a monthly cap that patrons can set. I'm not sure that there is enough of a hook into the various platforms to allow a per-view style payment system.
This quote was stolen from the comments section on the original article by Brian_EE

"I wonder how realistic the operations of the virtual airlines are. In the game, do you get to have local police come on your plane and beat up your passengers and drag them off before you take off on your flight route?"
> Craft beer — so hot right now. Could Brooklyn, New York, really be the microbrew capital of the US? Nope. It doesn't even make the list. But after analyzing over 1,600 breweries, nearby New York, New York comes in 17th

What a goofy opening! Three of the breweries listed for New York are in Brooklyn and the other two aren't in New York City at all (which is just to say that even if you didn't realize Brooklyn is New York City, its breweries would still have been included because of proximity).

They probably should have been more interested in figuring out why Brooklyn didn't end up on a list that considered 800+ U.S. cities :)
Similarly I am surprised to see Columbus ahead of Cleveland. I've always been under the impressions that Cleveland's beer scene was much larger
It's interesting certainly, but should we be impressed here? In the end, the team's time was wasted and a nonsense issue was escalated to the CEO.

>I'm sure that's true. But considering there are 100's of employees in your average museum and such a conspiracy would require just about all of them to be in on it I don't see how it could be kept a secret.

Actually such a "conspiracy" wouldn't require more than a few to be on it. Why would the guys guarding the spaces, or the people selling tickets and merchandise, the cleaning staff, the canteen workers, the secretaries, etc need to be "on it"? Those are the majority of the "100s" of workers.

Just the director, a few of the people in the administration, the curators, and the ones putting up the paintings (or, actually, not even them).
Not wanting to sound too negative, I would prefer to meet the people in person and drink a beer, eat a meal than to lounge around in some virtual room.

Sure. But once you've had the experience of your circle of friends dispersing to different cities, the appeal becomes immediately obvious.
Also related to that. In a situation where:

* a bucket has 1M files in it

* uploads are generally of 200 files at a time

* each file name is guaranteed to map to a unique content (content-addressable)

* some of the files to upload might already be in the bucket

It's actually quite expensive to list all of the bucket files to find out if they haven't been uploaded. Especially when the file names are hashes it's hard to filter by prefix as well. (same issue on S3)

It would be great if there was a way to just upload the files and get an early 303 response if the entity already exists and has the same SHA1. That way the client can just push all the files without having to build the "new files" list.
> SS will exhaust it's trust fund at some point

Or not. Current projection by the Social Security Trustees are that the OASI trust fund will be exhausted between, IIRC, 2030 and never; the DI fund between 2020 and never (there's two separate trust funds involved.)
We always believed that we will move forward. But we shouldn't take that for granted. Regression is also a possibility.
A brief, but interesting post on how viral products are simple and can be easily described in one sentence.

>The format of both descriptions is the same: “You do X and Y happens.” X is the input and Y is the output. This input-output pair matches our intuition about how software works. Simplifying the product as a straightforward input and desirable output creates the sense that it’s an ingenious idea.

I think it's important to have a simple product and using a feature to explain it makes sense. However, this brought to mind the sales and marketing idea that it's better to sell benefits, not features. I'm not sure where I sit on which approach is better, I suppose they each have their purpose. I definitely find myself pitching my side projects based on the feature, not the benefit :)
I'd say it's worth defining a line between IP and copyright. If you can reapply a technique without giving away the companies methods then you should be okay. But get someone who understands legalise to advise.
Aren't all tradeoffs unnecessary? I mean, it's part of the definition, right?

Well, the Democrats seemed to not even try to speak to it, even though the working class was (once upon a time) their core constituency. So maybe it's fair to say that, if the Democrats "noticed" it, it didn't register in their thinking to the degree it should have.
Wow, that's really impressive. Good on you all for putting in the work.
You've only proven my case.

That's a lot of functionality, and there is a market for this functionality, however this market isn't the mass market.

Like computers, phones are also barely used to their full capacity. There is a quote about how we have the most powerful tools and the largest repository of information all at our fingertips, yet we concede to our whims and spend it on frivolities (see: usage of social media and mobile games vs. non-entertainment apps).

The regular consumer does not give a shit about any of this supposed functionality of AR. You can tell them "oh it'll have this, and instant alerts will be unobtrusive, and the UI, it'll be optiimized to hell and back!" But, these are weightless promises. Consumer phones haven't even gotten to the point of seamlessness and great UX (though Apple is coming close).

Snapchat is simple, AR is most definitely not.

This is an adoption problem. You can't keep throwing features at it and believe the problem will fix itself.
2 things

1. I don't think literally all programming languages are the same

2. I have used Haskell, and am very aware of every language listed in the other replies to this comment, so you're completely wrong.

I kind of thought this community was better than this, to be honest.

I'm eagerly awaiting the horror movie version.
I don't understand why non-youtubers care about these nuisance. These 'independent media' provides little to no value or productivity, these people are mostly equivalent to those who dance on the train or street to get money. Online, they get the money by deterring from their own content to who-knows-what advertisers who paid the most.

If anyone actually produces any value in need, they should be able to create a business model where people would exchange money for it.
How do companies like Blue Apron/HelloFresh find early adopters?
The idea of not ordering food delivery, and not shopping for groceries is new and a discontinuous type of innovation, which requires a change in consumer behaviour.

How do these aforementioned companies find their early adopters? Everyone eats, so how do they find people willing to try this?
How long did it take to build Sublime Text vs. Electron + Atom? Are the original developers in Atom experienced in C++? How easy is it for 3rd party developers to contribute extensions to each? How do the extension catalogs compare, in size?
It's be great to have Book You'd Hate as a service. I have a very faint memory of some reading list site doing that way back in the day, but I can't recall exactly what or where.

It does get complicated dealing with all the platform-specific stores for a cross-platform app (about to experience a lot of that pain soon enough for some of my work), but it does seem to be the most convenient way to get out of needing to manage product keys and DRM and yet still being where users expect to buy your application.

For what is worth, I've installed several very large applications from the Windows Store (Xbox Play Anywhere titles, one of which is > 80 GBs) with no problem [1] and they seem as well optimized for that as Steam. (Which may not be a surprise given it's largely the same backend now for both Xbox and Windows.)

The Windows Store also has DLC/in-app purchases support for things like optional content, very similar to Steam, and could potentially help you manage that as well.

[1] I did need to know how to switch default application installs to a different disk, but that's a problem Steam users face too, and the solutions are very similar.

Eating meat. I think in 50 years we'll be looked back on as savages for killing animals to eat them. I should note here that I am in no way a vegan or vegetarian and eat animals on a daily basis. But I'm still pretty sure we'll look back on ourselves in shame for doing it once lab grown meats are commonplace.
But muting your own friends while gaming with them? Nah.
Plus if you build for this from the get go and assign a max life to your processes with auto restart, it becomes a native part of of their lifecycle.

With multiple processes listening to the same socket it's easy to create a continuously on service that under the covers respawns with no apparent loss of service.
> Socialists, communists, anarchists, etc. have been concerned about the rise of fascism ever since World War II.

Yes, they have. They have predicted nine of the last zero fascist dictatorships (with one awaiting further evidence).
"destroys" suggests Snapchat has already died. All that happened is a new developer platform was announced for Facebook. This article is pretty bad.
Luckily, in your case, there's a lot of online communities to participate in.
you're in luck :D

I don't think anyone is arguing that it's technically impossible to create anything. I was just pointing out that the tradeoffs that Atom accepted aren't simply trivial to solve. Jon has put an amazing amount of work into Sublime Text to get it where it is today; it's not some simple thing to build a great, native text editor. However, it's not like Sublime Text isn't without its own tradeoffs.

The US is the 4th largest wine producing country in the world. To be sure a significant portion of that is low quality wine made with grapes from California's Central Valley. But the US is a big wine producer across a wide spectrum of quality and cost points.

Wine production isn't really as widespread as beer in the US but that's partly a function of the climates where grapes grow well (and economically relative to their quality). Add in fruit wines and things are a bit more widespread.

Could you imagine yourself at any sort of turning point? Or are you at the point where you'd just as gladly kill animals for food yourself?

Not trying to criticize, it's how humans have existed for thousands of years — I'm just genuinely curious what a realistic "oh wait, I'm going to not do this" point is for people who eat meat.
> It’s easy to create an identity that represents the real you in Facebook Spaces. This helps people recognize you and makes VR feel more like hanging out in person.

Can someone remind me if they still require you to go by your full legal name, or do they let you identify yourself the way you prefer to?

Wow, those avatars actually look more obnoxious than the Nintendo Miis.
It's still doesn't change the fact that if you can't even control your lust for the sake of your health, you are as weak as they come.

And to that extend, it's universally agreed upon by science and all mayor and respected health organizations that a vegan diet is at least as healthy (and quite possibly healthier) as any non-vegan diet, and that animal agriculture is the single biggest contributor to climate change, and it's obviously better for the animals, so objectively, it's the superior choice.
I wouldn't really call Qt Creator a text editor though.
These avatars creep me out.
San Diego gets special mention, because I believe the great American Beer Renaissance started there. The modern (American style) IPA was first (commercially) made in SD in 1996.

Yeah, looks like the core code dates from 1977 (!) and Microsoft acquired it in 1981. That's a heck of a legacy.
Not funny but sort of relevant. Here in Ireland we just had an air disaster - an air sea rescue helicopter crashed into an island off the west coast and all aboard were killed. The accident investigation has determined that the island was not registered on the aircraft's mapping system.

"Can you explain the obsession people have with the Constitution?"

It's the foundational document of the most powerful, prosperous nation in the history of the species. Things like that attract allegiance. It would be strange if it didn't.

"It seems like some people believe all new laws shouldn't exist if they're not in the Constitution."

Your "some people" straw man is likely fictional, or at least very rare. Laws that conflict with the constitution can be struct down via Judicial Review. Otherwise new laws are entirely compatible with the constitution. The US and its various states have no difficulty producing reams of new laws that survive the constitution just fine.
Great comparison. In both cases choosing the language that helps you launch quickly is almost always the right decision. You can always scale later. Better to find out if your app is even going to be a success, first.
Either the polyfills aren't being shipped or their feature detection is broken, because I get "document.registerElement is not a function" in Firefox Nightly with a spoofed UA string, and I get marginally further if I turn on our experimental native support for Web Components: http://imgur.com/a/TgnrQ
This feels really strange almost like Facebook doesn't know wat they want. On the one hand they push torch, pytorch very hard, almost aggressively, now they throw out caffe2 and say this is the holy grail. Wonder if this is similar to the chaos that every app is trying to mimic Snapchat - but here it's like a group of teams want to dethrone TF
My apologies, I had assumed the codebase was legacy due to some lamentations about not being able to use Rust.

Check out "experimental JIT branch" of PHP. It boost performance 1.5-2 times compared to current PHP 7.1, and they didn't start optimization yet. It blows HHVM out of the water, and I can't wait to compare performance with Java and .NET.
Unfortunately, insurance is the reason we have this health care issue in the US. There is no one to fight these special interest lobbys in the health care world. The hospitals don't care and a good number of patients don't care because of insurance. From what I see , people without insurance are treated as losers and their voice is not heard. Without insurance hospitals and doctors would fight the drug manufacturers on the patients' behalf.
PNW probably has the most breweries and microbreweries per capita. Between Vancouver, Portland and Seattle and a myriad of other smaller places (Eugene etc) there's been an explosion over the last 20 years. I guess when it rains all the time people need social indoor spaces. In more urban areas Ii's become the norm for every neighborhood to get their own brewery within somewhat walking distance.
Yeah I probably should have lead with CRIU. It's been a longstanding ongoing project of excellence. A lot of people who work or worked (unsure of breakdown) on OpenVZ have been cranking on this for many year.

Work from the CRIU crew started getting upstreamed almost exactly four years ago, breaking some initial resistance to the tech needed for CRIU-

It's interesting the breakdown in sell- CRIU is a swiss army knife of a tool, whereas Snappy Start and V8 Snapshots seem targetted and marketted largely towards fast "initialization" concerns.
As much as Zuckerberg apparently wants Facebook to be Snapchat, I've seen very little uptake on their new "Stories" feature.

They added a bar across the top of the Facebook app and for the first week or two it sat completely unused (except for Facebook's own story and the new post button). Someone must have noticed how empty that white bar looked, so now it's been filled in with grayed-out profile pictures of friends who have never used the feature, and when you tap them it says "____ hasn't added to their story recently." That's an awfully polite way of saying "____ has literally never posted a story."

In the three weeks since it launched, I've seen one story posted. Frankly, I like Snapchat because it dosen't have a whole social network and filter-bubbled garbage reel bolted onto it. It's an app I open when I get messages or want to see what friends are actually up to.

Maybe FB isn't trying to eat Snapchat as much as trying to bring Snapchat's features to older markets of people who can't easily sort though Snap's inscrutable interface? If they're aiming to actually take back the messaging/stories space for younger users, I'm not optimistic for them.

Anyone having a different experience?
I got that reaction too when I read it. There were other, sneakier NLP-like use of language. For example, "Being at the forefront of the container wave, one trend we see emerging in 2017 is containers going mainstream ..." It's a way to sneak in the idea that Docker is "at the forefront of the container wave". By accepting the rest of the sentence, it is easy to accept the earlier clause without challenge.

If anything happened in 2016 in the containerization space, it was that Docker was playing a lot of catch-up to Kubernetes. It seems like they rushed out things and then they botched the OSX native release of Docker in Q2 2016, and lost a lot of goodwill in the community of individual developers (more so than CoreOS did with rkt? That's how it feels like to me. Back then, people thought CoreOS were the assholes for forking. I think that sentiment has shifted). I have not tracked how Docker is doing in enterprise, but I guess they are doing well?

I kinda doubt Docker (specifically, Docker Swarm, and the orchestration tools Docker forced into docker-engine) will ever catch up to Kubernetes, but hey, things move fast, right?

Having said all of that, I like this description: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14141832 ... which makes _much_ more sense. Maybe now, someone will use Moby to create a native OSX Docker kit that actually has decent file sync performance (either with unisonfs, rsync, or nfs, and not try to layer it as another FS).
On top of this there are multiple learning styles (e.g. visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile) of which many people are able to harness all or a combination thereof, whereas others learn best by only using one style.
It would be nice to have something similar to youtube red for watching videos I just don't really want to pay youtube. I'd like content to be spread around a little more.
By capturing relations. If we define an algebra it will have certain properties (eg commutative, associative). You don't think twice when writing a physics equation on how to factor, compose, or compute a value. It comes naturally from the rules of algebra.

In category theory we might have different categories. Some might instruct the compiler and programmers that the function obeys certain rules when applying. It could be trivial to parallel or perhaps it specifies a strict sequencing for computation. Following Haskell research, you can really see the evolution as people find more useful generalizations (which in the end, has made things simpler!)
People seem to ridiculously inflate this cost. If you are going to be using a tool for 40 hours a week 50 weeks a year for the next decade then you will be using it for 20,000 hours over the next decade.

Spending a few hours to configure it to your liking. In fact if you start atom and wait 6 seconds for it to start just once a day then twice wait 3 seconds for a new window you will in the same time frame have waited 8 hours for atom to start.
Unfortunately, to the extent that Greenspun regained control at all (which is questionable, given the out of court settlement that gagged him), it was much too late, most of the company's value had been destroyed, and seemingly so had Greenspun's taste for founding/running a company.

In some alternate universe, Philip Greenspun's ArsDigita became the leading platform provider for developing and deploying Application Service Providers (what we would call SaaS today) and their main competitor is Zimki founded by Simon Wardley.
No they aren't, since when we talk about tradeoffs we are already assuming a specific desired outcome. The tradeoffs are necessary in order for us to achieve it.

But in order to achieve an outcome such as: "an editor that's cross platform and is programmable in JS", using Electron and/or the DOM is not a necessary tradeoff at all.
I don't think it'll take that long.
