> so many people in the (still relatively free) West denying basic agency to their fellow human beings

Because there's a lot of cynicism with charities and foreign aid. There is an active campaign here in Britain to reduce the latter and anecdotally, I have friends and relatives who refuse to donate to aid agencies because they believe that the whole thing is a sham.

Sure there's bureaucracy, but most of them are genuinely hardworking and already operating on shoestring budgets...
> Actually, all those things you listed _decrease_ lifetime medical costs. From a purely economic sense, people who drink, smoke, and eat junk food are _ideal_. They're reasonably healthy during their most productive years, and then mortality rate spikes just before retirement (a time when most people are least productive).

Actually, the numbers don't back that up. A person doesn't get diabetes and die the next day with no medical costs. A smoker doesn't get lung cancer and die tomorrow. They might not live as long, but their medical costs are higher the entire time, and the older they get, the higher the costs become. Eating poorly is especially costly because it doesn't kill people quickly, but causes significant health problems.

> So if the logic is that we tax things based solely on economic externalities, then we should encourage drinking, smoking, and obesity. We should subsidize all those activities.

No, the logic is that we provide healthcare to everybody so that they can have longer, healthier lives. Makes no sense to waste money on the people actively working against that goal, so if smokers/drinkers/fatties want to take part then they need to cover the extra costs they've created for themselves.
Shortcuts do not work at all for me on OSX, I'd try this once that is fixed.
I didn't downvote, but the comment misses the point of the article. Were web/hybrid apps the right choice in 2007? No, but that doesn't mean they can't be in 2017. The hardware is orders of magnitude faster and the software ecosystem has vastly improved.

It wasn't a great idea to start a internet-only business in the mid 90s (with some obvious exceptions), but the same isn't true today.

Isn't that also huge news, depending on the definition of "often"?
Um. Yes.
I may be wrong on this, but I'd hedge a bet that a majority of Reddit users run some sort of ad-blocking software. The "culture" (horribly wrong word but I can't think of a better one) on Reddit is also very anti-advertisement. Users are quick to point out even the most innocuous use of branding in posts as astroturfing. /r/HailCorporate is a perfect example.
The article makes a lot of PRC censors trying to subdue news about the match. How much of this is a real tendency or cultural fear? How much of it is just an attempt to kneecap Google/Alphabet?
Hm. Searching for Levi 501 (the canonical 80 heroin rock singer cut) yields prices like: offers from $21.78 - $ 131. I'm not sure what you get for ~40 bucks or how it's different from the one for 131.
Yeah, I have very little respect for this criticism.

In fact, the end of the Slate article gives a perfect example of how things should work. Bem did a large, preregistered psi study, found no effect, but noticed an interesting positive result he hadn't registered for. So he published the negative result, mentioned the positive thread as a site for further research, and is now putting together a preregistered study on that basis.

This seems totally above board. (And again, Bem outperforms the standards of real fields.) There's nothing wrong with noticing something suggestive in a registered dataset, or even gathering exploratory data directly. You just have to confirm what you find with preregistration.
Most mistakes are basic, but they come about because people don't test their code/sites with the mindset of an attacker. This is pretty much always the case when it comes to XSS, and SQL-Injection attacks.

There are lots of words written about security, so it's hard to pick a single thing. But my vote would be for "enumerating badness", and "default permit", which are kinda related.

At the time this was released, the game performed terribly (as in, incredibly slowly) on all but most advanced PCs. The "real gamedevs" (such as Carmack) were trying to optimize for performance and working on the most possible hardware configurations. Stuff like Quake was impressive not just because of good gameplay, but also how smooth it ran even on really shit machines.

>> "You can push updated JS, CSS, HTML, fonts, and images directly to all of your users without needing to recompile the app’s binary and getting App Store approval."

> This is the part I wanted to touch on most: DO NOT DO THIS. This is explicitly against App Store TOS and can/will get your app rejected or pulled without notice.

I just came here to say the same thing.

I guess it's still useful in 'enterprise' scenarios though, where you are distributing apps to a restricted set of users by some other means, such as through Microsoft's Intune. I don't know why Ionic Deploy and CodePush don't make this plain though.

Edit: I just checked the CodePush FAQ, and they seem to be interpreting the Apple developer agreement such that updates outside of the app store are allowed as long as they don't radically change the app [1].

Personally, I'd be really wary of going down this path, worried that Apple or Google would pull the rug out from under it. Anyone here had any apps rejected or pulled for using CodePush, Ionic Deploy or something similar?

SurveyMonkey has 650 employees?! Do they just have big customer support and sales teams? Or are they working on a much more ambitious roadmap than simply maintaining their classic survey tool?

It is. There have been interviews. They didn't have the SDK ready (it was a total mess on the preinstalled apps). When people demanded a way to develop they pushed out web development because they could do it fast while they got everything else documented and into a consistent state and secure.

It sounded like they always expected to do native apps, just not nearly as fast.

> I'm not sure what CSS preprocessors has to do with that…

That even simpler step-ups like preprocessors with lower learning curves have not been adopted by the majority. Simplicity and lazy has a very high bar for any sort of competing tech.

I agree with you that technical simplicity of HTML-first would feel a step backward because you have already climbed over the fence and accepted the issues of over-engineering that come with React/JSX/Webpack and 1000 other components.

This of course doesn't mean HTML-first approach would be replaced anytime soon. Even with likes of Facebook betting their entire ass behind it.

Speaking as another "expert" I guess, honestly it's pretty hard to get a rejection. Almost all of mine are due to an oversight with things like the app's data and permissions, or relating to the app age rating.

Seriously if your app gets rejected that much that you'd bitch about it, it's because you're not paying attention to what you're doing and/or are up to some shady shit. It's really not difficult to avoid.
>This is assuming you have a JS/HTML/CSS skillset.

Not a terrible assumption. There are way more web devs than any others.
Thanks for the feedback! Someone mentioned this earlier and I am going to add something to make it easier.
In the old GPS selective availability "SA" days it was generally assumed you'd get vertical errors of about 1.5 times horizontal errors and SA added "up to" 100 meters of random error, so if you were at sea level and SA were turned back on again (WW3?) it would not be surprising to see -400 feet, but -500 would indicate a system failure of some sort because "obviously" there are no airports below sea level so set the firmware failure detector to -400.

Another thing to consider with modern avionics is this isn't a hand held Garmin or an iphone. There are two interesting military, and increasingly civilian, avionics features, GCAS ground collision avoidance system and TAWS terrain avoidance and warning system. GCAS theoretically engages the autopilot and pulls up if the plane is about to hit what it thinks is the ground. GCAS has already saved at least one F16 pilot's life, probably more by now. TAWS is about the same concept but rather than "don't hit the ground" its "don't hit the radio tower in front of you" which is somewhat more complicated to calculate both the danger and how to safely avoid it. Either GCAS or TAWS might have freaked out and "fail safe" design means you're better off shutting off or dumping into a reboot loop than letting something detected to be freaked out take over the plane. I specifically listed "or" because nothing fires off a fail safe quite like having GCAS report all is chill and calm while TCAS vehemently disagrees (or vice versa). I am a little unclear in avionics in general what happens when a GCAS and TCAS disagree. I guess TCAS only avoids obstacles by turning or climbing whereas GCAS only avoids obstacles by climbing (obviously?) so as long as they both implement that protocol they should never disagree. Unless there's a bug in only one of them below 400 feet.

Finally the verbal description of the problem indicates the nav gear failed after reboot but operated fine until reboot. My guess is the GPS firmware itself might have an "issue" in its acquisition firmware where obviously all positions below sea level are categorically unable to be accurate during acquisition mode so you can toss out any interim solution and keep acquiring if you find an altitude below -400 feet (see first paragraph). Or the GCAS or TAWS do the finite low pass input filter thing over multiple location data points where the last 60 seconds of flight data show a smooth descent to -1400 feet or whatever so thats perfectly fine because the boot up self test is not running while the system is booted, but on boot up during self test the input data filter having an output of -1400 is "obviously" a software bug so keep on rebooting until the input data filter has a reasonable value.

Glad someone put in the effort for this.

I wrote something that fills this econiche sometime last year in Ruby (https://github.com/matsuri-rb/matsuri). Same ideas: mixins, generation of Kubernetes resources, etc. For better or worse, it also adds the idea of combining all the deployment environments into a single workflow and command line interface.

The big difference? Ksonnet is better documented and promoted, lighter-weight, and now better supported within the community.

Hmm. I dunno.

I worked on a cross-platform mobile development tool called Nomad for Visual Studio (from Red Gate Software) for a while back in 2013, since retired. Back then hybrid mobile apps, for the most part, absolutely sucked balls in comparison with their native counterparts. Performance, in particular, was often choppy, and it largely wasn't possible to offer an anywhere near native user experience.

(I know, I know: everyone's going to point at Untappd, which was 2013's poster-child hybrid app, and talk about how awesome that was, but whilst it was decent, it was still noticeably hybrid. And, yes, there were and are companies selling native controls that can be used from a hybrid app to make things easier/better/more performant.)

The experience of working on Nomad taught me one thing: if you were serious about mobile app development, and you wanted to provide users with a great experience, your only option was to go native, be that on iOS or Android.

Four years has passed and, nowadays, the situation has improved quite a bit for hybrid apps. Still, it's disingenuous to suggest that most apps would be better as hybrid.

Sure, your app might run "fast enough" for many scenarios, and the user might not be able to even tell the difference between native and hybrid implementations, but if your hybrid version burns 10 times as many CPU cycles as its native equivalent would you're caning the battery life of the device, which is an aspect of mobile performance that seems to escape a lot of people. Speed is one thing, but how long you can continue to use the app or device also matters to people. (I say this as somebody seriously considering porting a couple of HTML5/JS games to mobile at some point in the future.)

This problem becomes particularly pronounced if you're building an app - and this goes far beyond games - with any kind of fancy media component, custom drawing, etc., any kind of rendering, doing anything cool/fancy with music or sound. You can take advantage of WebGL and shove a bunch of work onto the GPU, which will almost certainly do better battery-wise, but if you have some idea that you can just hack something cool and flashy together with HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, and it won't drain the battery and make the device quite warm, you are likely to be disappointed.

I will agree that iOS is an absolute pain in the neck to develop for when it comes to doing anything remotely interesting with web technologies, regardless of whether that's as a hybrid app or even just in browser. But that's a long rant for another day.

It's annoying that all the git commands start with 'git' unless you write your own aliases. It means you can't just type !sta to get the git status much less 'emacs !add:*' to edit the files you just added(!) ; you have to do a ^R search and edit. !git is almost never what you want unless it's just !! anyway.

Since you asked, time to shill for my favorite socks. (Note: Not affiliated. They've just really won me over because these are the most comfortable socks I've ever owned.)

Darn Tough socks [0], which I discovered via Reddit's /r/buyitforlife, are some of the best socks I've ever owned. They come with a lifetime warranty - so if you get a hole in the sock you can send it in for a brand new pair. No questions asked. Made in Vermont, USA.

Downside: $15-22 for a single pair of socks. I used to pay that much for 20 pairs of cheap socks.

Upside: I only need to own 8 pairs of socks. One a day, one to wear on laundry day.

First of all, the Fed. Cir. doesn't only do patent cases! They also handle appeals from the court of federal claims (read: suing the government) and veterans matters among other stuff. But consider the reason why appellate jurisdiction was concentrated in the Fed Cir in the first place, imagine a court of appeals that went off the rails as much as the EDTX! The Fed Cir is a good thing, and I'd even advocate for a unified court of first instance for all patent infringement matters to avoid another EDTX happening in the future.
In my experience, bugs are almost always easier to reproduce with address randomization. It's easier to see a process leave readable/writable memory than it is to see it overrun a buffer and only trash app code.

You do have to ask whether the code does what it's supposed to do. What is your objective evidence that it does so? You need that.

But you don't need aerospace standards unless you're critical infrastructure. If you're writing a web app? Not so much. You'd still like to be able to not throw up when you look at the code, though.
The moderation will be challenging, but I have a few ideas:

* require an email id during registration with confirmation

* add a reputation system for user profiles. Mods can "upvote" certain profiles that contribute in good faith

* use the reputation system as a basis for community moderation. Users above a certain karma can flag chat messages and/or user accounts.

* Allow banning of IP addresses. This was suggested by another user on reddit, but not sure how effective it is.

Regarding the product itself, I took a look at the current offerings in the "add chat to your website" category and they all

* have a terrible UX and look completely out of place when placed on a website

* not customisable

* are not targeted at businesses

I plan to allow the use of custom templates to allow the chat to fit into the overall website it's used on.

My theory is that businesses and even people with personal blogs will find it valuable.
