There's a couple different things at play this time. Windows RT only allowed Store apps and Microsoft's own ARM desktop apps. Windows 10 on ARM will run UWP Store apps and x86 apps (desktop & hybrid "Centennial" apps). At at Build, they announced Edge support for Progressive Web Apps and they'll be adding PWAs to the Store automatically if they meet all the right criteria for features & quality.

So not only will this platform support almost all the existing Windows software out there, it'll treat PWAs as first-class citizens.

Although it's a silly pet peeve, it's interesting to realize that the standard pose society has adopted for butterflies is one in which they're typically dead. Definitely changes the way I look at pictures of butterflies.

On a tangent, has anyone tried using Vault as a personal keyring, rather than using a cloud based password manager? In particular, how much would I need to trust each device that runs a Vault instance, if I was concerned mainly about malware running alongside it?

Right now, I have everything in Keepass, and no good way to synchronize that between devices. Merging key repos is a royal pain, but mainly, I don't like the idea of trusting everything to an organization that I can't hold accountable. Running my own service on a generic tiny EC2 cluster feels like an improvement, although I would still worry a little about the virtual neighbors.
We can achieve much of the carbon capture we need to by changing the way we do agriculture. Currently, our approach to agriculture - CAFO meat production, monocropping vast fields of corn, soy, and wheat - is a contributor to greenhouse gasses. It's eroding away the soil and the soil is one of the primary carbon stores. If we changed to relying more heavily on silvopasture and organic polycultures we could change it to act as a vast carbon capture mechanism.

Early studies suggest that diverse silvopasture can be just as productive as monocropped grain, but it means a major change in diets and the food production system world wide. It means less meat (but not no meat) and a diet focused more heavily on fruit and nuts rather than grains. This is a huge cultural shift and also a huge economic one, since much of the food industry is completely dependent on value added processed grains.

But if we start looking at how chesnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, and acorns could be stored and processed into a greater variety of foods, then we can start the move towards agricultures that are just as productive and way healthier for the environment.

No-till, poly cropped grain production (corn, beans, and squash in the same field) can also act as a carbon sink, but it doesn't lend itself to mechanized harvest right now, so it would need to happen to a smaller degree.
Cars are thoroughly useful, granted. But the frequently-repeated parents claim that its impossible to raise a child without one, are given lie by the fact that millions of folks do it every day.
T-Shirt Business – Decisions I Made While Building a Company – Chapter One
Well, the parent commenter is entitled to monetarily support or not support whatever company he wants for whatever reason he wants.

At least from my own perception, the character of the CEO usually doesn't come up as relevant for the people using the platform. On the rider side, it's usually been a matter of how convenient/frustrating their experience with any given platform is, and on the driver side, there's generally no concept of loyalty whatsoever; they just try to be on as many platforms as possible to maximize income.
Yes, I didn't mean to speak for everyone - I'm sure many people prefer the living picture which has more emphasis on the body and less emphasis on the wings.
Baltimorons call it a "stoop". We use 'em too when there's enough room, otherwise the sidewalk.

Historical note: Baltimore marble stoops were harvested to patch the cracks in DC's Washington Monument after the recent earthquake because they're from the same quarry. (Baltimore's monument needed no such patching and predates the DC monument by 59 years)

Praveenbeatle has been downvoted, but they made a good point. It seems like this stuff has become so politically charged that it's almost impossible to have a non-toxic conversation about it.

Of course it's true (sadly) that sexual harassment happens. It's also true that some women are almost comically hypersensitive about this stuff (like the "dongle" incident at that Python conference).
With every decision you will then randomly fall into one (aided by QM or not).

»Making a decision« is not a coherent concept. Your actions can either be a function of the current state of the universe or they can be independent of the current state of the universe, they can be either deterministic or random. Or some combination of the two.

»Making a decision«, at least that is the way I understand it, means choosing one of several different possible actions and this choice is neither random nor determined by the current state of the universe. As far as I can tell such a thing can not exist, random means not a function of the current state, a function of the current state means not random, there is no room for a third option.

And if you think carefully about it, you will notice that »making a decisions« really makes no sense despite the fact that we use the phrase all the time. Just think a bit about a thing that is neither a function of the current state nor random, it just makes no sense. If it existence, then we are currently missing something extremely fundamental about the world.

So every person can and should be encouraged to cultivate their pathway network, which is what an open society based on discussions and science already does.

We will probably do this but it is fundamentally an illusion without free will and as I just said I am pretty certain it is. Without free will things like encouraging people are meaningless, things just happen, whether deterministically or randomly. I am as stuck as everyone else with the belief that I can make decisions and go down one path or another, but it is an illusion.

We will probably keep talking as it were not for the foreseeable future, we will encourage people to do this or that, we will decide to do one thing instead of a different thing, we will be happy or disappointed or angry that someone decided to a specific thing. We will continue to ignore that all this is not in my or your or anyone's control. Not that we could change it, outside of our control, too.
Plaid | Backend Engineers, Product Engineers, Security Engineers, SRE | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, Full-time, https://plaid.com/

We believe that the way consumers and businesses interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. Plaid's goal is to enable this shift by building the tools and infrastructure that allow developers to create the next generation of financial services applications. Today, hundreds of companies such as Robinhood, Acorns, Coinbase and Venmo rely on Plaid to integrate with banks and the financial system.

Plaid’s infrastructure handles millions of requests per day and thousands of bank integrations, and we pride ourselves on maintaining a robust API to support the developers who depend on us -- and the millions of consumers who use their apps. Our API and most of our services are written in Go and Typescript. Our infrastructure is built on top of AWS, Elasticsearch, Redshift, S3, Spark -- and although we love trying new technology as individuals, as a team we are pragmatic in our choices, favoring the right tool and not the flavor of the month.

We're Series B and our current team is about 85 (including 35 in engineering).

If you are interested in any of our roles please reach out to me over email - jgreze __at__ plaid.com
Here is a link to our job postings: https://plaid.com/careers/

We're especially focused on hiring experienced engineers (backend, product, security) at this time.
I never noticed, but it is indeed a bit odd that most drawings show butterflies in a position they would't assume while living. Of course there is artistic freedom, but when a realistic display is intended, a more true-to life posture should be used.
The difference being that companies are meant to be trying to make money and give that to their investors, whereas cryptocoins are nothing but a string of numbers.

Sorry, I'll take the blame for that. I added it late last night, the original was 100 or so characters and I had to crop out 20 on my phone.
Thanks, looks like it indeed.
You can get anything you want with expensive business packages, including unlimited data. I use a wifi hotspot using an unlimited and fast LTE connection whenever I business travel (not sure what they pay for it, I think we even have boxes that pool multiple providers but personally I never used them). Telekom even publically advertises an unlimited LTE plan nowadays (but that is 200€ a month).

However, the typical consumer plans are pretty limited.
I mean that's basically constant folding on steroids, in this case taking advantage of the fact it knows the array has three elements, and that we only care about entry 1. Which is impressive, really impressive, but it is fundamentally limited. This approach won't ever be able to take your bubble sort implementation and turn it into a quick sort or merge sort. In general I don't think this sort of optimization will lead to asymptotic improvements in runtime, excluding certain edge cases.

Which isn't to say these optimizations aren't important and can lead to very real improvements in speed, I just wouldn't consider it algorithm rewriting in the strictest sense.
The top 20% certainly do support problematic policies, and they do need to look at how their preferred policies are harmful to most Americans.

But the real problem is still the 1% (or the 0.1%). It just hasn't caught up with the top 20% yet. Unless the arc of US politics changes radically, and I've seen no indication that it will, over the next 30 years, these people are going to be proletarianized the way the rest of us have been over the last 30. You can see it already in the decline of private medical practices as doctors become employees of hospitals and chain clinics. In the decline of tenured faculty at universities. The zottas are not going to tolerate that share of their wealth going to their high-skilled servants for any longer than they have to.
> The difference to, for example, the stock market is in the "underlying value". If I buy some stock and it's price collapsed the next day, I'm still entitled to my share of future profits etc. If the company is sound, I have lost nothing.

Bitcoin is a payment network (Even if the price collapses to really low).

Ethereum is a smart contracts platform, so you can still build certain kind of apps on it even if it's price collapses.

A ponzi scheme as NO business model (or the business model claimed, isn't a valid one).

Using bitcoin I can actually transfer wealth from one part of the world to another, similarly using Ethereum I can create decentralized applications funded by payment (like pay-to-seed bit torrent network).

He's a poison pill alright, but I'm not sure who's going to feel the poison.

He's either the end of the Democrat establishment (the election and post-election hysterics are unheard of in my lifetime), or the end of the Republican establishment (if he crashes and burns as bad as certain circles think he will).
After completing a tiny project in VueJS+Bulma where I was not 100% happy with what I'm delivering, I was playing with Google Cloud Platform "console", and oh boy, do they get their interactions right.

Every little component to do a new configuration is compact, clear, cute, and intuitive. They seem to think about minimizing mouse movement all the time.

I feel like starting my project from zero and copying a dozen solutions from Google. (But they would be painful to replicate, so no..)
Really like what you're doing.

I think it'd be really useful if you could show the types of visas companies are willing to sponsor especially US companies. You could show if they're sponsoring new H1Bs, H1B transfers, TN, etc.

Chicago apartment buildings have a similar design either like this or near ground-level front porch, and when I was a kid near everyone was using them in the summer. You'd be hard pressed to walk down a block and not see near a third of the units with people hanging out in front. They became like backyards, BBQ's and all, but more much social because you could interact with your neighbors.

Today, condo development has destroyed some of these designs and the old apartment buildings don't ever seem to have anyone on the stoop or front porch. I guess people are more indoors orientated now or simply less social with their neighbors, at least in more gentrified neighborhoods. I barely know my neighbors to be honest. Sounds like the times haven't really changed much in Philly.

I didn't know you could run wasm from node, awesome.
Well… the newsworthiness of any particular thing is pretty far removed from the objective importance of the thing, for any definition of importance or objectivity that don’t make the statement tautological. There was a comment pile on on another thread when someone likened opioid addiction to terrorism, because opioid addiction causes a hundred times more death and injury than terrorism. Terrorism is more newsworthy though.

Almost any article about HP or IBM is less newsworthy than one about Tesla, atm.

Eloquent javascript is also fantastic.

I've always been really fond of the front porch in Chicago for a similar reason. They are a bit more elaborate -- they are often covered, and are much larger as a whole, but they are pretty much the perfect place for 4 or 5 people to hang out.

I've met so many people because they are drinking on a porch or on a rear deck and I've started talking to them, and next thing you know I'm drinking a beer.

There's often a sunroom/living room/den connected to the front porch in Chicago. This room is known as the frunch room. I'm not entirely sure how to spell it, but it's a portmanteau of front and porch.

I think Microsoft had been working on emulation for x86 on ARM.
> My little 10" ARM chromebook has already left my more powerful laptop gathering dust. It seems like 'just a browser' at first glance, but it becomes so much more when you add a chroot which can launch X sessions into Chrome tabs.

So you claim running X sessions in Chrome tabs is better than running X directly?
