You're repeating your arguments without any technical arguments yourself.

You repeat the mistakes as outlined in this article:

https://medium.com/@johnblocke/decentralization-fetishism-is...

> They back a solution that gives them more control over the network and higher fees, not lower fees. You think they will give lower fees but you're uninformed about the current fee situation.

How so? Because bigger blocks will give lower fees than Segwit only.

> Blockstream doesn't have control. You're pushing an uninformed narrative that makes Blockstream out as some sort of evil corporation--- the reality is block stream employees are a minority of core, core development is done in the public eye (unlike even Segwit2X and certainly any of Bitmains's hacks, like BU which was closed source for awhile before people just gave up on it.)

The censorship in those channels are well documented.

> You keep talking as if the miners are supposed to be in control, as if that's right. It's not.

You don't understand the point of PoW in Bitcoin.

> You act as if there are a lot of miners and they are the bitcoin community, they are not, they are the minority.

Doesn't matter. And btw, you think UASF is the majority? Because they are not.

> Your articles are non-technical nonsense full of FUD written by people who do not understand the bitcoin code.

Where are the technical arguments against these supposed "non technical FUD pieces"? You provide none.
You have a point. Python was definitely pitched as a perl replacement. We forget because it pretty much won.

Lua has it's own problems, of course, but I don't see it as a language developed as a consequence of frustrations with another.
> It will go online on the testnet tomorrow

It seems rather premature to call it working before it gets properly tested. And three weeks is a woefully short time to test something like this, fix any issues that are found, and then re-test.

You're saying Lisp is amazingly popular when compared to esoteric hobby and research languages? That's not a particularly high bar.
No, Luke is saying that if chinese miners attack the chain and are successful, then the core chain will need to change PoW (otherwise with a minority of hash power it will take al long time for difficulty to adjust.)

There are three factions here-- Segwit2X and Core, who both want segwit, and Bitmain which does not want segwit and which has threatened a forcible hard fork into a bitcoin that has unlimited block size-- and they are even talking about doing an ICO and things like that:

I referred to Blockstream and this is their patent front announcement,

> Today we are excited to announce some important steps we are taking on the patent front, why these defensive steps are necessary, and our hope that others will see merit in our approach and follow our lead.

Edit: Here is a discussion of Blockstream's patent application for side car design,

> The application, submitted on 9th May and published earlier this week, outlines “systems and methods...for transferring an asset from a parent chain to a sidechain”.

Here is blockstream talking about Lightening,

> Blockstream’s work on the Lightning protocol began two years ago with the intention of enabling new applications and developing new use cases that could help further the adoption of Bitcoin and related technologies

https://blockstream.com/2015/09/01/lightning-network.html

Also presumably if segwit activates then Liquid is no longer needed?

Edit: The relationship between Blockstream and Lightning is underscored, by the fact that the largest contributor to the specification is a Blockstream employee (Rustee Russell),

It's difficult problem to solve. If we do put it in the filesystem, we need some way for the filesystem to know how the NAND behaves. Otherwise the lowest common denominator dictates and nobody gain anything.

With this in mind, I don't see why the disk cannot handle this in the firmware. As long as there is enough free NAND on the drive, it can manage wear level and GC just fine assuming that it gets TRIM commands.

Congratulations to the team on a great success.

I live in China and hi-speed intercity travel here is both affordable and fast. CRH is building up at China speeds, with new stations popping up almost weekly. It used to run at 370-380 kph (240 mph), but after the Wenzhou train accident, all CRH trains were capped at 300 kph, even if the trains are being developed here that can go 500+ mph.

However, behind the affordable practicality of CRH, we often forget how expensive and disturbing the whole network is. It's obviously not turning a profit when we can get from Shanghai to Nanjing in 1 hour and 124 RMB ($18). And it's very noisy as well, standing inside the small stations when non-stop trains pass by (or should we say "zap by") the deafening roar of the train going even at 300 kph will shock you. And around Shanghai, those trains pass by every 5 minutes or so, producing a lot of noise. And this being China, urban never ends, one city flows into another, and a lot of people live nearby CRH lines.

Though China is already a very noisy environment, I would welcome "upgrading" those CRH lines to Hyperloops eventually. Most of them are elevated, and with China's massive capital they must already think about how to cut those short travel times between economic hubs even shorter.
(In the UK at least) "bag" is a derogatory term used for older women. Just sayin.
Yes I read it and it calls it a fallacy. Which is not, it’s a trade off.

We could argue about how many developers actually know the implications (which would be a great survey to do), but I believe having this trade off by default has been the right choice for npm/Yarn. Also we need to distinct devs from lead devs, who are the owners of such responsabilities in teams.
I come from a 1st world country where the average car is 12 years old. Unless you can buy a level-4 car today(tip: you can't) 90% saturation in a decade is just impossible. I think 40-50 years is the likely target.

7 Reasons to Outsource PSD to HTML5 Conversion Services
I appreciate your taking the time to speak to these issues honestly. This fact alone sets you very much apart. While I do think your model is better, even lots better, the tuition deferment model can be very misleading to those who don't get the tax/rent burden in SF or NYC (not saying you or your school is misleading students as I don't know it or you... I'll read up). As far as tier 1 bootcamps, I'm pretty sure you and I know who we are speaking of. I do think students should question these schools and their supposed outcomes with a critical mind. The facts aren't reaching these recruits because their desperation for employment is clouding their view, and because many who stand to profit from this desperation are actually in a state of desperation themselves. I'm not saying you are in particular. I am saying that we need to be more responsible and act like a supportive community.
You mean proof of stake? Is there a working implementation of proof of stake yet? I thought it was mostly theoretical and academic at the moment.
My point was execCommand is non-standard, thus requiring workarounds for different browsers/platforms.
W3C standard for bloat-free websites, aka vendor-neutral equivalent of Google AMP and Facebook Instant Articles, to avoid further fragmenting the web.

If its an open standard, mobile-view and other stuff can be progressively added to websites in a variety of ways: built-into browsers, polyfills or open source libraries, and lead to a much better web experience across devices. Aggregator startups and apps would stand to benefit a lot by this.
The “right way” to do that is to publish alpha versions of your code. Snapshotting the state of the tree into a mutable release is calling for problems. Semver also defines a (poorly supported) M.m.b-release+tstamp pattern, so you can release immutable snapshots and have a semver range do the rest.

Maven-like snapshot are a requirement for an environment with poor support for transient semver-ranged dependencies, which maven is…

Convert PSD to HTML 5 – PSD to HTML 5 Conversion Services Company
That's impressive! I read a few stories about reverse engineering the PSD format and how much technical debt it carries in it
> How so? Because bigger blocks will give lower fees than Segwit only.

Who profits from high fees? Core? No. Miners. BitMain is very adamant about not wanting low fees. The idea that Segwit, which quadruples block size and offers a fee discount is an attempt to keep fees high is absurd on the face of it.

>And btw, you think UASF is the majority? Because they are not.

You're convincing me that you're operating from a script and have no technical knowledge of the situation.

Segwit2X IS a UASF.

> And btw, you think UASF is the majority? Because they are not.

Segwit2x is the majority of signaling right now. (Though it's a fake out because Bitmain plans a hard fork.)

Your personal attacks and failure to address the technical issues speak for themselves, so I have not quoted them, nor responded.
> many more industries.

In our industry, ISPs used to, many still do. Shared hosters definitely. VPS, way too often. That dedicated host with a gigabit port? Well, you have a gigabit inside the datacentre... beyond ... it's a big question and not all are honest about it.

But certainly Delta has been paying more, it was a 3000+ ppl computer conference ending and some sports event at the same time so the airport was a total gong show and Delta paid a friend of mine $1200 to not fly to New York.
Copy & Pasting needs some work. Usually the biggest hurdle is people pasting content from other pages and the editor can't sanitize it properly. This doesn't appear to do any cleaning, which in practice never works because regular people do not know how to use the plain pasting mechanism (Ctrl+Shift+V instead of Ctrl+V).
No, when it happens they find you another hotel room in a nearby hotel and either drive you there or have you driven there on a cab.

But is not at all common, and when it happens it is more likely that the reason is not overbooking, but rather some incident (like a mistake in the bookings, a bathroom found leaking just before the customer arrival, a couple that booked a twin and then arrived with a 17 year old "kid", etc.)

> I don't think it's population density. I grew up in this town called Augusta, Georgia. Every year there's this event that draws people from all over the world. Despite two hours, give or take, major cities, it draws them in.

I think there's a big difference here – it's one thing to draw a large crowd for a single ~weeklong event, and another to do it continuously over the course of a year. I imagine the staffing requirements for Augusta National are different the week of the Masters versus the rest of the year (and I know that at least some of the additional staffing is done by volunteers). So the economics are wildly different. A Disneyland in the heart of the US would probably require fairly high staffing levels continuously. So this would require a fairly consistent attendance. Sure, there will be seasonal/holiday variations, but I doubt a theme park could survive the attendance amplitude swing that Augusta National sees between the Masters and the rest of the year.
You would have no errors except when dependencies expect to be “the only one”, in “peer dependency” style.

I did this when I was choosing a laptop. I called up a few laptop repair shops. It as so helpful! They could tell me what was junk and what was OK.

I also do something like this this when choosing a new ISP. I call the support line instead of the sales line. Somehow ISPs can answer sales enquiries instantly while support calls take 45 minutes to answer. This strategy has led me to use some of the smaller (slightly more expensive) ISPs, because I know they'll answer almost straight away.
Fighting Cyber Threats with an Open Data Model – Infosecurity Magazine
I've lived in China for 16 years and been to nearly all the cities mentioned in the article plus many more. I agree they are interesting to visit, however for different reasons. Personally I have little tolerance for the east coast cities for all but a whirlwind visit, generally being too large and natureless to justify an extended stay.

The great things you can see are random new architecture (a highly successful architect friend of mine recently described China as a "playground for architects"), old stuff (though increasingly fake / rebuilt - if you are a real history buff you need to do some research to find the less visited sites), interesting and highly regionally varied food, and almost total street-level safety.

Things that can be not so fun: transportation crushes, higher prices (it is no longer cheap to travel here), communications and cultural issues, general lack of tourism infrastructure or infrastructure limited to handful of sites with a mass tourism focus.

Personally I prefer the smaller towns, natural areas, and obscure cultural attractions like locally preserved architecture, performance traditions and wacky foods.

Overall it's a very interesting country and worth a look, though if you have a very picky diet (eg. vegan), a weak stomach or constitution, or tire easily it may not be the destination of choice.

As another mentioned, the Alexandria analogy is best applied to what.cd being shut down last year. Here's an article describing it.

I wasn't ever a member, but it's clear to me that an immense body of knowledge was lost when it was shut down. Much more so than SoundCloud shutting down, unfortunate as that may be.

edit: anyone who was familiar, how did the categorization and documentation of what.cd compare to Discogs now? I find Discogs invaluable and immensely useful, but it certainly doesn't have the rigorous QC that what.cd had. Anyone can edit entries, and it's not infrequently that I encounter something incorrect.

In the uk most solar installations get a generous subsidy for power produced. The fixed subsidy was set 5 or more years ago at e.g. 44p/kWh for a specific installed capacity.

The high price per kWh means it is economic for these places to upgrade their panels to newer ones that get closer to their rated output (e.g. in low light conditions etc). Hence the market for used panels.

Source: looking at the explanations on used panel shop's website - I think it is reliable.

It does result in code being loaded when it isn't always needed, but in our case most libraries are used in every app.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just add a standard API to invoke an external editor instead of yet again reinventing the wheel? It might be more interesting to standardize a certain type of rich text markup that could then be produced and consumed by a variety of software, both online and off.

There are web extensions that let you do that but it's often a bit clumsy I found, so I just tend to edit my text in Emacs and then copy/paste it in the box.

Regular <textarea> editing on the web is not generally a pleasant experience (I just had to grab my mouse to extend the comment area so that I can actually see what I'm typing) but rich text "WISIWIG" editors are even worse because the edition shortcuts always intersect somewhat with the regular browser shortcuts (sometimes in fun and interesting ways), they're slow and generally simply not up to par with stand alone editors.

Why does everything need to be in the browser? It's a complete anti-pattern as far as I'm concerned. Emacs is often mocked as the "emacs OS" because of how extensible it is but generally this is done by calling external programs, not reimplementing everything in elisp from scratch.
