The interface problem is unsolved. My argument that it's necessary and the IP-based guess is insufficient has two reasons:

First, often there's a local, state, and international language. This is endemic in India but also exists elsewhere. In Barcelona for instance, there's Catalan, Spanish, and English.

The migrants to Barcelona generally know at least one of these; such as Turkish and Catalan, or Arabic and Spanish. So what do you display? The Catalan version? Spanish? English?

You can find the differently-scoped languages in unlikely places; in Mexico for instance, Nahuatl has 1.4 million speakers and Yucatec has 759,000. That's about the population of San Francisco. Not a small number.

Second, international migration is only slated to increase. In Los Angeles, the neighborhoods of say Huntington Park (pop 58,800) and South Gate (pop 95,677) are 97.1% and 94.8% Hispanic/Latino respectively while Monterey Park (pop 61,085) is 86.3% Asian/Pacific Islander. The Burbank/Glendale area has the largest population of Armenians outside of Armenia. Over 50% of LA residents don't speak English in the home.

So for these cases, is defaulting to the state language a better user experience than fixing the language selection process?

Solar Roadways Technology Behind the Scenes
Maybe I don't understand this thought experiment. Say you are on a plane cruising at 500 mph. The plane is applying constant thrust to counteract atmospheric drag in order to maintain steady 500 mph. At this point your horizontal speed is 500 mph and your vertical speed is zero, as the plane is maintaining level flight. When you decide to jump, you start accelerating towards the ground at roughly 9.8 m/s^2. Your horizontal speed is still close to 500 mph, but it starts decreasing due to atmospheric drag. So you are falling towards the earth, but you are also moving at a considerable horizontal speed relative to the ground due to newton's first law. The plane keeps apply thrust to maintain 500 mph. Eventually you'll land, behind the place but a considerable distance away from where you started.
So, this work was done in C. elegans, a worm, on one class of drug used on colorectal cancer. So, obviously there's still a long ways to go, but there's enough noise in the gut bacteria space at this point to know that they're very important in a variety of ways to our health.

Always?

What happens when the market price of a biological necessity exceeds what some people can bid? If business utilization of a resource yields more economic value than the continued existence of some people, is the right choice to let them die?
I worked with a guy once who bragged about how much free stuff he got just for being an asshole to CSRs at different companies. I had the displeasure of listening to one of his calls once and I was shocked at just how badly he treated people.

He treated his girlfriend the same way, too, and I'm surprised she didn't dump him for it.

I bought a steel Kleen Kanteen several years ago and haven't had to purchase a plastic water bottle since.

I just refill it. It's food grade steel so I've never actually had to clean it.

I honestly can't imagine how much plastic I've avoided purchasing because of this simple investment, not to mention how much money I've saved.

1. It isn't obvious — and hasn't been clarified — that was a joke.

2. Going through a harrowing experience usually toughens one up to the causing elements, sure. Being tough about X doesn't mean you should see every reference to X as a joke; quite the opposite, in fact.
I haven't done any serious analysis of Time Machine (or of APFS for that matter), but I think in general Time Machine also only keeps one copy of files. So APFS isn't worse than the existing situation. Arbitrarily keeping multiple copies blows up the disk requirements. You can intentionally keep old copies around in APFS via snapshots, which is what APFS will probably do when implementing Time Machine.

What Apple added for the existing Time Machine on HFS+ was an extension of the Unix concept of hard links to files (where there is only one copy). They added hard links to directories. Generic Unix avoids doing that for a number of reasons.
From the article you linked:

> While these barriers are usually effective for cattle,[23] they can fail due to ingenious animals. Sheep searching for food have been known to roll over grids, jump across them, step carefully into the spaces[24] or run along the side of grids as wide as 8 feet (2.4 m).

My kids actually caught on to Voxatron (PICO-8's 3D sibling) a little easier than PICO-8. I think Minecraft has a lot to do with that.

AFAIK both are Lua based, not Python. Both programs are absolutely recommended and are a joy even if you don't have kids to share with.
> Do cars or anything else often have warranties longer than 5 years?

Yes, many products have lifetime warranties; cars typically have shorter "bumper-to-bumper" warranties (though, yes, some are longer, too) but very often have key-component warranties that are longer than 5 years.
Of course, they only cared about PR: by pure coincidence, they "voluntarily" changed development model on webkit right after several news outlets had picked up the umpteen blog post by a grumbling KDE developer.

Yes, Apple historically doesn't give a shit about the OSS community unless they can exploit it or it becomes a dangerous nuisance. And this is why it gets a bad rep in OSS circles.
A product's price is mostly a function of demand, not the cost of its raw materials.
> When you enable it, it takes about 7 seconds of pinwheel to load anything,

Huh. I should have waited two more seconds, I didn't think anything was going to happen.

I wonder how many people (like me) think "something's wrong" and move on.

Isn't is already true that there is one copy to corrupt? The whole idea of using hard-linked trees (a la rsnapshot [1]) presumes that when a file doesn't change, there is only one copy.

Common in the mainframe world, like VSAM. That would be variable length record oriented files, versus stream files. Someone did do this for GEOS: http://justsolve.archiveteam.org/wiki/GEOS_VLIR , but I've never seen that for anything remotely unix like.
Houses can come with warranties, more often they are called "maintenance plans" and are really just insurance. You pay for them if you have one, either directly or it's built into the price.
Yup. A lot of good answers on this quora page:

"US researchers have carried out an environmental lifecycle assessment of 2-megawatt wind turbines mooted for a large wind farm in the US Pacific Northwest. Writing in the International Journal of Sustainable Manufacturing, they conclude that in terms of cumulative energy payback, or the time to produce the amount of energy required of production and installation, a wind turbine with a working life of 20 years will offer a net benefit within five to eight months of being brought online."

Unlikely. It's difficult to implement, and can be worked around by applications that need it.
I may have been imprecise: I'm talking about jumping inside the plane, not wingwalking. There's no drag inside the plane.

If you've ever taken a pee standing up on a plane, you'll notice that your pee doesn't veer rearward. You can juggle balls without losing them (you can try this in the back of a car). If you throw a ball forwards on a plane, it doesn't come back to you, and those carts that are rolled up and down the aisles aren't constantly trying to flee towards the back of the plane.
What you said. Hated the website. When it's all glitzy like that I pretty much check out. I'm more of a fan of the nerdy crappy camera angles but they are showing you how to do something on the cheap. There is a guy on youtube who has helped me repair our subarus, he's awesome. This website was the opposite of that.
I think, in my ignorance, that this is a deeply human desire to understand the world or at least parts of it. If there is a simpler, less complex concept you can grasp it's always something that appeals to some.

And also there is a need for belonging and FOMO, so if you find a nice subculture that appeals to you and is graspable in it's complexity, it's way easier to stay informed and connected in that, than a more general topic.

Specialisation is indeed is the only way to understand something to the state of the art for more than two centuries or so now, since it's humanly impossible to have a working understanding of the whole of human knowledge.
I work at a chip company. All of our register definitions and other specifications are created in a machine-readable but human-friendly YAML format.

The specs drive scripts which generate the hardware, test interfaces, C headers for software and the PDF manual we give to our customers. I assume everyone is doing this: how else can you guarantee thousands of pages of documentation and a large API match the product perfectly?

What's new is ARM is giving that internal specification to customers. Makes a lot of sense given their customers are also chip companies with similar practices. I think it's a good idea and everyone should do it.
HFS and HFS+ were never case-sensitive by default on Mac OS. Case-sensitive HFS+ was made available as an option in Mac OS 10.0, but was always glitchy (especially for boot volumes), because many applications depended on case insensitivity.

Dishonesty and deception? Again, lolwut. Parties are collections of people, they do not stand for specific ideas. Anyone that gets on the Republican membership list is, by definition, a Republican. Example A: Trump.

Signing up to a different party sounds exactly like what you're describing. Open the door to intellectual conversations with people from different social spheres, force confrontations between real person with real beliefs instead of strawmen.
Europeans know all about American racism. But Americans know very little about European racism, especially modern European racism. Ever wonder why that is?

That's my point. In most parts of the world someone could discuss American issues of racism like they studied under Cornel West. 5 minutes later they might say, in an off-handed comment, that group X is lazy and/or mostly criminals. And they'll never make the connection. It's mind-boggling.

Which isn't to say that plenty of Americans don't deny racism. They just have to work much harder at it, and they at least realize that their opinion is non-normative (even if it's technically the majority opinion).

Actually, the little point that undermines this litany is buried right in the middle: "Undoubtedly, a well-sited and well-built wind turbine would generate as much energy as it embodies in less than a year."

So, do turbines last more than a year? Much more than a year? Ok then!
I have no technical expertise to chime in. But I just wanted to say, that I like how nicely formatted the README is.

A lot of companies routinely open-source lots of little things that could easily have stayed internal, but are genuinely useful to everyone else. (Admittedly, I think about 30% of them are Go logging libraries, but the point still stands.) I.e., open source by default as opposed to being the exception.

That, of course, can be a strategy. A company can look cooler and attract talent by developing everything in the open.

Thanks! For fuck sakes, using VPNs sometimes is a pain in the butt due to localization.

Edit: Although I understand localization is important, but perhaps we should favor English - an international language - over a localized one. Of course, one would say, it being international does not mean well adopted. Perhaps, we can use some sort of constants to assume a Country's acceptability of English and first make English the first choice; having localization as an option.

Interesting Anecdote: When I was a tiny little kid in India, we were forced to use the English version of Google so that we learn English as well as Computers at the same time. Sure Localization is more user friendly (and hence I understand it being there) but it is not a standard. After not surfing the web (or visiting other pages), 99% [1] of the applications/programs on the computer are not localized.

Nice, I've been looking for something like this!

Do you happen to know what this kind of work is called? I'd like to find more from other fields and distribute them at my local college.
You really should take the tack of learning about this subject rather than following rubbish numbers pulled out of thin air with more rubbish numbers pulled out of thin air. Here's the System 5 rc script for MariaDB. At 453 lines it is not even one order of magnitude larger than the systemd service unit, let alone orders of magnitude.

* https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.1/support-files/my...

I recommend actually learning about the reality of MongoDB. For starters, the systemd service units supplied in the likes of Ubuntu and Debian do not set any of the settings recommended for MongoDB by its authors, so here (as in so many cases with systemd service units in the wild, alas) shortness actually equates to not doing things properly.

* http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/mo...

* https://sources.debian.net/src/mongodb/1:3.2.11-2/debian/mon...

* https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/ulimit/#linux-dist...

Another example of such is WSO2 Carbon, with a 14-line system service unit from one source that gets things grossly wrong.

* http://jdebp.eu./FGA/systemd-house-of-horror/wso2.html

I recommend actually learning about Caddy, too. Ironically, the subject of its service unit came up here on Hacker News only a day ago. It is 43 lines long, some 6 times the length of the supposed 7-line systemd service unit being bandied about here, and not as far different from those for MySQL and Percona as you imply; and it does not attempt to be "more modern" as you claim, as it entirely lacks the socket unit that would make it more in line with the systemd way of doing things.

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14167704

The idea that this is "modern service design" is borne of not knowing the subject, too. The sort of design changes recommended by the systemd people are in fact pretty much the same sort of design changes recommended by IBM in 1992 for services managed by the System Resource Controller and recommended by quite a lot of other people since, including Apple and ... well ... me for many years. Whilst this is good service design, it is not "modern", and not in any way unique or original to systemd. To further alleviate the ignorance of MySQL as well as demonstrate how this is far from "modern" and not something that one gets to claim for systemd service units, I point out that people were running mysqld without mysql_safe, in the very way that the systemd people are by all appearances just learning about in their mailing list discussion, under daemontools in 2002. I strongly suspect that that wasn't even the earliest occasion of that.

Nice looking app, but screenshots are not much use. Do you have release anxiety? 2 years and nothings out but a landing page?

If you had released it earlier you might have been able to get some traction right about now when people are forced to leave wunderlist.

You want to move faster, then release the app. Customer feedback positive and negative will get you making changes quick smart and you'll get a good sense of initial demand. App development is a continuous process that requires constant input from users. No point in adding features no one asked for, you're just wasting your time.

As a wise man once said 'It's better to have released and failed than to never have released at all'.

They popped up as I was growing up - littering the coastline and countryside.

I guess you've never seen them blow the top off a West Virginia mountain to get the coal out. Windmills can be replaced by solar, but that mountain isn't coming back. (Caveat: don't know if that's still done or not, but it was done plenty in the past.) If feel ya on the aesthetics (though I personally like them), but if you're complaining about windmills "littering the coastline", then maybe blowing the tops off mountains doesn't happen in your backyard. Instead you got windmills. Consider it your aesthetic tax for having reliable, inexpensive electricity.
I worked once for a boss that didn't believe coding beyond eight hours was productive. He said that after eight hours the number of bugs went way up. There's a cost to all those bugs that negates the extra hours and he claimed to have the proof of it.

I learned a lot from him and never doubted him on this fact. Unfortunately I've also worked for younger bosses who have yet to make that connection.
1997 - Apple Computer Company might as well have been called "The Beleagured Computer Maker" and Microsoft had an "unbeatable" monopoly in operating systems and browsers.

2017 - Apple is the most valuable company in the world and now known as phone company while Microsoft is still dominant in operating systems for desktops it doesn't matter and a company that barely existed in 1997 has the dominant browser and becoming the dominant desktop OS in schools.

Facebook is on top now, but so was Friendster and MySpace. Facebook is already seen as the place for "old people".

In other words. In technology, no one stays on top for long no need for the government.
As I mentioned above, our family has come to know hundreds of other families that have children experiencing some, all, or more of similar symptoms, and have achieved recovery using similar protocols.

Fwiw I own a duplex in a very popular Oakland neighborhood with something very very similar to this in the back. My cabin is about 190sqft with a full bath. It even has its own private patio which is about another 300sqft.

I am unable to rent it out because it is too small per city rules and it doesn't have a kitchen. I could rent it out illegally, but if there was any dispute with the tenant, the tenant could retaliate by suing me for renting an illegal unit. In a dispute, I could be forced by the city to pay back ALL of the rent said tenant paid to me, ever.

My cabin sits vacant.
It's a strategic regulation that replaces multiple tactical regulations. Therefore, carbon tax leads to fewer regulations.
