Thanks for the feedback. A desktop app is certainly something we are considering but we want to do it right hence why we have not released one just yet.

In terms of the shouts - this is just a joke :)
Fair point. I can only answer for myself, but for me it's more of the idea of a language being implemented in Python rather than an issue with having Python installed. I'll admit that I'm a bit of a PL snob, but writing a language in Python just feels inefficient.

Another thing to note is that the vast majority of the packages you list are things that might not be installed on a server environment; I admit I haven't thoroughly read through every single package you listed, but the vast majority of them seem to be GUI-related (Gnome, Unity, etc.) or printing related, none of which would be necessary on a server environment. The only ones that stick out as not fitting into these categories are the Ubuntu-specific things like apparmor and the various apt-related packages (which would presumably not be present on a machine that isn't Ubuntu or some other Debian-based system), clang-format (which wouldn't really necessary on a server, since ideally you'd format your code before pushing), and lsb-release (which may or may not be necessary; on the machine where I'm currently writing this, the only package I have that depends on lsb-release is mongodb, so for servers not having a database (or having a different database), this wouldn't be necessary either.
Empirically, this does not happen. It's a company of like 70,000 employees. You're not going to be able to guess the people involved when the company is that size. Maybe if it was a company on the order of 100s of people you'd be able to.

This is a hypothetical worry that doesn't seem to play out in practice.
Or git lfs, which is even supported by / integrated into github and other git hosting services.
Great. Loving the clean design.
What about the third approach, find another existing library that provides similar functionality but is faster?

Or fourth approach, pay for faster hardware (cheaper than your time, usually!).

Or fifth approach, refactor the code and submit a change request? Even if they are not interested in doing the work, maybe they'll accept it.

Probably other approaches you can take as well.
All of the Land Registry is computerised. If you can point at a precise piece of property you can go online, right now, to their site and pay them a few quid for a PDF of the data. If you need to show it to a court of law (e.g. to prove who owns something in court) you can pay a bit more and get a physical piece of paper issued which the court will accept as a substitute for a person from the Register showing up in person and telling them who legally owns it.

However, firstly (least importantly) not all land in England is registered. About 10-15% isn't registered. Registration is compulsory for new transfers today, but there are a large tracts of land whose owner hasn't changed for decades or even centuries, registration offers some benefits, but they're not obliged to register unless they want to transfer the property.

Secondly, the paperwork may just say a place is owned by a corporation in a tax haven. Knowing the land my building is on is owned by "Property Holding Corp Sierra Sixty Eighteen" in the British Virgin Islands is almost exactly the same as not knowing who owns it.
I think it's more the other way around. How did SurveyMonkey convince Serena Williams to be on their board? Her husband may well have played a role. (Sure, it's not a huge time commitment, but it's not zero either, and I would imagine she has plenty of other organizations and people competing for her attention.)
1) the practical implications and difficulties in doing so, and 2) the "stream of commerce" theory which blurs the lines significantly. Even if a web site managed to exclude certain districts, it would be pretty easy to make the argument that they have a large enough economic impact that they also affect those in that district.
I use google keep, and based on just a few minutes of use, this seems a bit snappier especially for finding older notes.

Note that as is mentioned on the website, this has indeed been tested on users, and the results of the study have gone through rigorous peer review and published at a top tier academic conference on HCI.
And yes, the audience is programming novices who do know HTML and CSS. For now. Since Mavo is a language, one can easily imagine an integration with a visual editor, to make it accessible to the average Joe.
Hello,

I have also been taking notes while building this here:

http://www.rossis.red/wasm.html

I'm happy to answer your questions about it.
Is a theory that is true only part of the time actually any use to anyone?

For example, your example. I might be the guy who eats more sweets when they're hidden. I go to my psych to talk about my sweet problem. The psych says "it's a well-studied phenomenon that you will eat less sweets if they're hidden". I hide my sweets. Boom, I eat more. What happens then?

We know there's a huge variety in humans. But statistics weeds them out and talks about "the average human". Which is great for statistics and researchers. But since there's no such thing as the average human, how does this actually help us?
Also probably wouldn't work - see the "stream of commerce" idea discussed above
Apple has abandoned the web. WWDC 2016 didn't mention the web once. They are holding web apps back. They still haven't announced service worker commitment for Safari. What a joke.

The Common Habit of Self-Sabotaging SEO with Keyword Over-Optimization
Care Revolutions (YC S16) Is Looking for Hunters
Healthcare cost represents 17% of US GDP. That’s 3 trillion dollars! A large portion of that is costs associated with medical doctors, nurses and healthcare staff in general. The world of healthcare staffing is dominated by telephones, fax machines, and paper calendars. We’re building a future where the people who work in healthcare are better managed and are empowered to be the healers they want to be.

Care Revolutions is a marketplace for healthcare staff. More than 100 medical centers in California and Florida book highly specialized professionals on carerevolutions.com every day.

Care Revolutions is funded by an extraordinary group of investors including Y Combinator partners and alumni.

We are looking for an experienced Outside Sales Account Manager to join our team. Preferably someone with medical experience. We are looking for someone with strong sales experience and a good network in Ambulatory Surgery Centers.

What you'll do

* Visit customers (Ambulatory Surgery Centers), describe Care Revolution’s value proposition, convert leads to customers by educating them on the benefits of using the Care Revolutions online platform to supplement core staff.
* Demo software and onboard customers.
* Work with an SDR and develop your own strategies to schedule in-person meetings with ASC Administrators and Nursing Directors.
* Support the creation of scripts for sales calls, in-person visits, demos and onboarding process.
* Manage relationships with existing customers, address concerns and questions, grow accounts.
* Propose product improvements based on customer feedback.

Who you are:

You have 2 to 5 years of sales and account management experience
Most likely you also have healthcare or medical experience.
You are or have been an RN or an Administrator of an Ambulatory Surgery Center

What success looks like: Grow revenue in your territory by 10% MoM.

Email founders@carerevolutions.com to start the conversation.
Sure, but once you've downloaded the app, you're good. You can open it up whenever.
I'd like to re-iterate, there are NO benefits to ADHD. It is a medical condition.

If I sawed off your arm, you wouldn't say "Oh well it's possible that the benefits of sawing your arm off didn't disappear with treatments." There are no benefits. I'd rather have my freaking arm, just like I'd rather not be ADHD.

Trust me, there are _no_ benefits to consistently requiring powerful stimulant drugs to even begin to resemble someone who can keep a simple schedule. This disease destroys peoples' lives. You have been sold a false good by the media, hollywood, and people who write trash articles that describe the "benefits" of things such as ADHD, Aspergers, and Dyslexia.
Yes, they exist. Maybe not up to the standards of a perfectionist, but much better than garbage, created with some professionalism.

If you insist on the standards of a perfectionist, though, you may be forever disappointed.
Apple didn't expect developers to want to develop on the iPhone so strongly. There've been interviews that said that they were going to release an SDK eventually but when there was such strong demand they had to get something out and what they got out was the web clips thing.

What I've heard is that in 1.0 they were really different bits of software many of the applications had their own implementation of UITableView... basically things were a mess. So Apple put out the Web stuff while they got everything cleaned up and standardized and documented to the standard they want to give out to third-party developers.
One important difference I see is istio works only with kubernetes/bluemix, whereas linkerd has many more deployment options.
Based on your comments and edit, it sounds like you genuinely weren't trying to be offensive.

What I'd say is that we're all driven by habit more than we realize. It sounds like the parent poster has cultivated a habit that's healthy and productive for them. They actually enjoy it and it brings a positive structure to their life.

Someone who dresses down every day is also guided by a habit. It may be deliberate, or it may not be. I'm not being judgemental - I happen to mostly wear t shirts and jeans these days, though ones I really enjoy.

Finding a habit that makes your life better can be freeing. It automates something you have to do every day anyway, and the alternative of making a choice every day to do something unique could actually be a negative - it burns up valuable mental resources that culminate in decision making fatigue, which can really mess with your willpower by the end of the day.

In a sense we all rigidly follow habits, or a script. But mindfully shaping them can be a powerful tool.
Exactly, they are single handedly holding the web back, especially with lack of commitment to Service Worker.

I've always thought it was a bit ridiculous when we get an email that basically asks us to construct a Potemkin Village because so-and-so is coming around.

I have naturally curly hair, which isn't unruly, it's just very curly. People with straight hair often seem to think that my hair could be 'neater' if I 'did something' with it. Case-in-point: One time the new head of the board was coming in, and HR specifically asked me to comb my hair. I told HR that was a terrible idea, yet they insisted.

So I come to work the next day with combed hair, and I look like the main character of Eraserhead[1]. My hair is a giant poofy frizzy mess. HR comes by, sees what my hair looks like, and freaks the hell out. They kept asking me to comb it better, or do whatever I could to fix it.

They were not amused when I told them that the only thing I could do to fix it was to take a shower and let it settle naturally. So I met the new director of our board with hair that looked like I stuck my hand in a electrical outlet, all because HR felt that curly hair on a guy wasn't normative enough or something.

SourceForge isn't owned by the same people anymore, so your example is rather bogus.
Blame all you like, it doesn't make any progress towards solving the problem.
Could you elaborate more on what your looking for?
As someone who has been a customer of SurveyMoneky for years (paying for top tier membership) I have very few complaints about their technology. It works well, and their service is good when it doesn't. However, I'd really love it if they could up their ambitions to unseat the SPSS hegemony in handling survey data correctly. Our company maintains a license of SPSS just for handling the output of surveys from survey monkey, because there are no faster ways to aggregate surveys results from multiple languages. SurveyMonkey still lacks true multilingual support. Meanwhile, I would love to get away from SPSS, but I haven't found a good workflow in any other GUI-ish tool that allows me to do what I need to do faster.

If Serena Williams is reading this, I hope that as a board member she can push SM to focus more on the higher end product roadmap.
Interesting given that they own ARM.
There seems to be also other companies involved:

You sound skeptical :-). Take that thinking through to the next step. What does Google, Amazon, or Apple know?

They know the publisher of the game who is getting revenue from it.

The know the thousands/tens of thousands/millions of accounts which has processed a purchase (probably hundreds of purchases per user) through it.

Some fraction of the user base is 'legit' which is to say they are playing for their own reasons.

I think the only way you prosecute that is that you find someone who was told, take this money, buy an iTunes/Play /Amazon gift card, use that card to buy items in this specific game. and finding that person would be very difficult. The dealers could literally hand gift cards to addicts for their kids to play their game while they are high.

I agree that there are pretty 'classic' schemes that could process more money but some of these online games are pretty amazing at the numbers they pull in monthly. Hard to explain a nail salon doing 5 million dollars a month in revenue.

They don't taste that bad, they're just really hard.
My vote could be considered completely pointless every year, because I do not vote for either of the 2 major parties. So should I just give up and quit voting? Should a Republican in New York just give up voting? What about a Democrat in Kansas?

I think the change you should be advocating for is not throwing out the entire electoral college system, rather you should be advocating for small changes over time the system. Small changes might be easier to get through and I think immediate and severe reactions end up being worse than small changes (see the PATRIOT Act among others for examples of immediate action with huge unintended consequences). Citizen ballot initiatives could certainly start changing how delegates are selected, but you don't see (m)any Democrats calling for that in a state like California because it would hurt them overall, just like it would hurt Republicans in Kansas.

As a side note, I would be curious when states started passing laws binding delegates and how that relates to the outcome over time given by your map. I wonder if there is any correlation.
1. I am a white board addict and almost cannot explain things without it.

2. We have a small team that works in two locations primarily.

I've been imagining this for so long, I can't believe someone finally made.

The big question: does it work? Has anyone tried it?
Java would work much better for VLC.
It seems like this is the authors first time creating a hybrid app, and some of this stuff i highly skewed.

I and others have had horrible problems with performance on android, the Chromium engine for instance is not available on all devices, and rendering is not guaranteed to be universally the same across devices. One fix is to use the Crosswalk add on, which bundles a webview with your app.
I've been using mutter -> ZNC (with mutter push module) -> bitlbee for some years and it works fine here for basic XMPP usage.

You can eventually "sublimate away" a hereditary ruling family; that's what lots of European countries have done. In some cases (like Pinochet or Franco), the ruling dictator simply accepts there is no point in continuing and just dies away without bestowing the country on his children.

People tend to forget that Middle-Eastern countries are all pretty young from an institutional perspective. Before the mid-XX century they did not exist in forms resembling the current ones. Ottoman collapse, Arab consolidation and general decolonisation were fluid processes that sprung (or were forced to spring) very complex entities with all sorts of growing pains.
Some would argue that NDCAL is that venue (Silicon Valley and all)

You're aware of Adobe AIR, right? It supports cross platform AS3 development to both iOS and Android.

I think it could have been a contender for winning the 'cross-platform-mobile-dev-tool" war; but Adobe abandoned it along for the most part.

IANAC (I am not a cryptographer), but this would seem to be big news, given the hardware to run it.

I wonder if a quantum computing revolution would cause a resurgence of research into symmetric encryption algorithms?

Because doesn't Shor's algorithm basically destroy asymmetric encryption (i.e., integer-factorization schemes like RSA are solvable in polynomial time), while symmetric encryption is only weakened? Namely, I think I remember reading that a quantum computer can search through a space of size 2^n in time 2^(n/2) for AES & friends.

Most bitcoins are purchased at exchanges. Unless you work at an exchange, and know the identities of the people placing buy orders, I find it highly unlikely you can guess their motives for placing their buy orders.

Not guessing and being humble leads to better decisions. I could give a long list of positive reasons why, however I too would be guessing. I can do that if you like.
Yes.

But also, no.
It's not easy, but it's pretty simple. Longer attention spans, and not treating all opinions as equally reasoned and/or valid. We are in the midst of a terrible anti-intellectualistic & dirt-kicking-religious-fundamentalism conundrum globally. Education is the only atmosphere where growth is the only goal - every human enterprise involves winning and losing, more or less.

In the context of Education, the goal is self-reflexive when employed properly - as in, discussion and growth and learning for their own sake, not because some asshole in the Federal Government wants every kid from Baton Rouge and Seattle and San Diego to be able to pass a highly sterile, multiple-choice "NCLB" type test. There's a lot of stuff to un-screw up.

The initial release for Istio is targeted at kubernetes. However, Istio is designed to be easy to adapt to other environments. With community help, we anticipate extending it to enable services across cloud foundry, VM, and hybrid clouds. We hope to have major new releases every 3 months, including adding new environments.
Seems like they've come pretty far in the past three months.

Also sounds like they were able to fix the performance issues that spurred Facebook (and maybe others? Can't remember) to move to Mercurial? Wonder how the customized git + GVFS would perform with Facebook's repos compared to the Mercurial setup they have now.
I'd move that a level up and say until they see concrete anything.

All of the privacy rhetoric (I realize that sounds dismissive, it's not supposed to) is based on either philosophical notions or slippery slopes. "Something bad might happen to you in the future!"

It makes for effective fundraising but poor impact on policy.. especially when the groups behind most of the privacy erosion like the Googles and Facebooks of the world provide an actual product people like.
Does it really matter who is on the board of a privately held company?
Sure, a couple of questions:

1. How do you measure "largeness" of a git repo?

2. How are you confident that you have the largest?

3. How much technical debt does that translate to?

https://whoownsengland.org/2017/03/15/what-land-does-the-duc...

Basically the answer is that the Duchy pretends that it is simply a private person (Charles Windsor) and so it shouldn't be subject to any more prying into its affairs than would be the case for you or me. This is sufficiently arguable that it doesn't fear ridicule.
I work for a networking company in bay area and a pretty complex major dashboard is built entirely with Vue. I have only heard good things about it from the developers.

Which in turn made me use Vuejs for this hackernews search that I have been building (http://searchhn.com/).

The documentation is excellent and Vue is well designed, it took a few hours from scratch to learn and build the demo (PS: Not a web developer)
If you're willing to use github you can use lfs.

Some binaries can be serialized so they at least function as text files for vanilla git's benefit. I did a project where we used LibreOffice or OpenOffice and we had a hook than unzipped the contents and flattened them into text for checking in and reversed that when checking out. It worked, technically, but we lost most of the benefits of git (tiny changes would lead to changes to several binary tables which lead to incomprehensible diffs). On the other hand the same project used gnuCAD which saves its files as text -- which was awesome: we made some edits (id changes and the like mostly) with sed and awk!

The big binaries problem is the sole reason anybody buys Perforce. It's horrible, but it does handle this case, and for folks like game developers there's little alternative.

I really do wish I could use git with solid works and Cadence files. Solidworks is the worst: their files are build with some Microsoft structured file library, and contain hard-coded paths; their dreadful proprietary SCM tool understands this and edits the file while checking it out to fit it to your local machine. Aaagh!

And it's all centralized. Recently we had an internet outage for a repo hosted on github: people still got work done and collaborated, pushing to and pulling from each others' machines until we had external access restored the next day. With FB down it was a pretty productive day!
It isn't a bubble yet - I think we have years before that. A sign of this will be when your neighbors tell you to buy bitcoin - that it is the safest investment, and that you can't lose with cryptocurrencies.
It's the future of parts of the web, not the future of everything.
