I don't disagree that building your own DE is a fantastic way to operate, but the point remains that it is in no way, shape, nor form simple.

It's taken years for my own collection of tools to stabilize enough that it isn't painful to juggle ethernet/wifi/mbim connections. So that my displays are properly laid out (automatically) when I get to the office and plug in my monitor. So that my laptop consistently sleeps when I close the lid, instead of continuing to run in an enclosed bag. So that GPS on my cellular card is usable at the same time as an internet connection. So that Java applications run properly (don't forget to tell your window manager to lie about its name!).

Now that I've wasted so much time over the last decade tweaking and tuning this environment to make it stable and mine, I wouldn't give it up for the world -- and suspect I can't give it up at this point without massive changes to my workflows.
They don't arbitrary choose however. They have published and objective criterias, and they're not singling out SNAP but it is literally the first big stock without ANY voting rights so theyve decided to draw the line now.
Still SASS via webpack (before that grunt and gulp). Experimenting with styled components and really liking what I'm seeing even though I thought I'd hate it.

I just want to add 2 thoughts to the discussion that's already here:

- Attention is a muscle you have to train and build up (of course it helps to be able to work on interesting and/or challenging things)

- The world is infinitely distracting and if you think about it, almost everything is noise. Today's apps are literally designed to capture, own, and monetize your attention. The most successful people are the ones that stop to think about what to ignore intentionally so that they can focus on tweaking the small number of levers that actually drive results. I like to work with my phone on Do Not Disturb mode or Airplane mode. I keep Slack and Notification Center on macOS on DND as well when I'm doing hard work.
It's a lightweight music player, ideal for fitness. That means that it would be a great replacement for the recently discontinued iPod Nano.

At the moment it's a bit pricy to buy one just for that use but maybe one day it'll be cheap enough that people will feel comfortable buying it for that feature alone.
It's a way for the political elite to control world energy use and energy production.

Like energy production and other sectors of the global economy aren't already under the control of elites.

The Programming Steamroller Waits for No One (2013)
Having 60% of the mining power means you mine 1.5 blocks on the "false" chain for every block on the "real" chain.

You don't need to mine 6 blocks in a row against the other miners, you just need to have a longer chain. So you simply fork the chain, and then submit that as the "real" chain.

With 60% of the mining power and a 6 block deficit, you'd overtake the main chain in 120 minutes (approx; 12 blocks), since you're making up half a block of deficit per block they mine.

If you really had 60% of the mining power, you could undo 3 days of transactions in about a week of mining.
I've been waiting for the Series 3 ... you know what they say about 3s :)
Buybacks are more tax efficient.
The individual in question worked for a major health organization themselves. I don't think they were confusing anything.
"Better enough" is a funny thing when it comes to redesigns, because all the previous routes to value that are ingrained into your brain are now gone, or look funny/different. Thats why I predict a brain drain as people pick up and realize it really doesn't do much for them anymore.
That method does not scale. Additionally, it assumes that members of law enforcement are not publishing malware.
A great free series on coursera called Learning How to Learn (also a book "A Mind for Numbers) addresses this in several ways. The biggest win for me was integrating a Pomodoro Timer into my workflow. I'd really recommend going through video series or book or both if you feel like you're having trouble learning, good luck!
Environmental, ethical, or dollar cost?
Except that hybrids, electric cars requires tons of CO2 pollution to create.

As do regular cars. If you're asserting that hybrids require far more emissions to create than gas-powered equivalents, and that that this excess exceeds the pollution saving over their operating lifetime, then cite your sources. Because otherwise it would still be a good idea.
I don't have a smart watch myself but several of my coworkers do, the killer app for them seems to be two factor authentication codes; we've got like 10 different accounts at work that need 2fa and instead of pulling out their phones they just use the watch.
Productised consulting — I specialise in a couple of areas that I think can be turned into products

--usually a "lead in" to some kind of consulting. ie. look how hard this is just hire us to do it.

SaaS businesses aimed at small-medium companies, ~$200-500/month digital products (rather than consumer products).

They are not checking if your systems are, say, vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. Take a look at

http://www.webtrust.org/homepage-documents/item54279.pdf

and say, a typical CPS

https://www.digicert.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/DigiCert...

They do an audit to check if all practices and procedures follow these guidelines.
The two main use cases seem to be notifications and fitness. I'm not big on working out, and I actively try to receive as few notifications as possible, so I don't think I'm in the target market for these. But I could see it being compelling for anyone who is interested in either of those use cases.
Which Snowden leak showed that the NSA was being used to aid piracy investigations? I'm not disputing they had the technical ability to suck up various Kim Dotcom selectors, just that they have no public reason to do so and there is no evidence that they have.
>> That's just asking for assholes

> Or open discourse

I think you're being naive.

Certainly, most people will agree that open discourse should be allowed. Even if people disagree, they should be able to discuss their points of view.

But there are plenty of assholes out there that abuse "free speech". There's a difference between defending a controversial point of view and telling people to kill themselves and simply slinging slurs and insults.

Generally, reddit tries to allow free speech while keeping out the assholes, whereas Voat let the assholes have free reign.
> Sure, your app works fine in downtown SF on the newest phone, but try using it in Nowherseville, TN

Granting that you heavily imply a 4G connection, the choice of "Nowherseville, TN" is extremely interesting: Chattanooga, TN — which as a Tennessean I feel is essentially "Nowheresville" to most non-Tennesseans — has Internet service multiple orders of magnitude better than most of the Bay Area[1]…

That's a shame.

I didn't think of that specific use-case (only one or two apps for the whole life-cycle of the unit).

I'm still curious to know if it would be cheaper to buy Android units anyways and replace them as their software becomes obsolete as compared to buying pricier iPads that will keep up longer with software updates. Just factoring the costs here, not the environmental impact obviously.

In general I noticed a shorter support period in the Android segment as compared to iOS (Excluding terrible cases such as OnePlus dropping support almost instantly).
Syncing should happen automatically even if you aren't opening the app. If you have to open the app to sync then some setting is turned off or something else is wrong.
I didn't say it wasn't...?
This is issue is not so hard to deal with.

1. For every big, important package, you can probably count on number of downloads/stars a library has to attest its trustworthiness.

2. For small packages, you should always look at the code directly. Search npm, see the GitHub repository link, click, read the source to see if it more-or-less does what you want. I think a lot of people do this already.

3. Typosquatting is still the only unsolved problem, but an addition to the npm CLI that checks if there are packages with similar names when you're downloading and alerts you -- maybe even suggesting the package that has much more downloads/stars -- should solve that.
What could you do with the voting rights? 51% of the votes are held by the two founders. Some more votes are held by people close to them (i.e. Eric Schmidt) This gives very little theoretical and even less practical worth to the votes, whereas the actual worth is benefiting from profits.

I wish they would list the phosphorus contents. I'm on dialysis and require high protein requirements every day but must restrict phosphorus. If I knew this number I could better account for it in my diet. Unfortunately phosphorus is not required in current labeling requirements.
Be prepared to do ~10 hours of coding assignments before maybe speaking with an external recruiter.
It's a little different in the case of BCH, as it is with ETC. They aren't mere altcoins. They're forks, and if you owned coins on the chain before the splits, you now own those coins on both forks. Coinbase offers the illusion that you owned actual coins. To be fully faithful to the illusion, coin you owned on Coinbase before the split should have the same properties it would have if you owned the coins on their blockchains.
Series 2 is decent - a great solution for notification polling but I think WatchOS 4 will be the first non-beta release. There's a lot of neat ideas but so many little “do they even have a QA department?” moments, starting with having to wipe & reset my new one when it disabled activity tracking with no explanation. Quick Siri access is great but it underscores just how limited Siri is – falling into the uncanny valley of conversational UI.
OK I must be missing something here: how can any of the large pools have 51% of the mining power?

How can you have more than one pool, each with more than half the power?

EDIT: OK I see where you're coming from I think... you mean any of the pools could 51% the forked branch, right?
Does Fedora's GNOME hold up better in terms of performance? The animations on my Ubuntu GNOME setup (in particular when launching overview) get noticeably janky with more than just a handful of windows open.
BCC is bitconnect[0], did you mean BTC (Bitcoin) or BCH (Bitcoin-Cash)?

>If anything the fact that things are working as intended(so far) proves that such a change is not nearly as dangerous as BCC developers make it out to be.

A single round of russian roulette[1] where no one dies is not proof that guns are harmless. Things work out until they don't. We should always avoid unnecessary risks even if we have been lucky in the past.

I've met people that were scared of Square as it "didn't look like a genuine POS".

I guess using an iPad could make the consumer feel safer. Than again a "Pro" looking case for the Android tablet might also do the trick.
The fact that you are transforming a constant, into other constants, should be clear there is an infinite way to transform that. And so on. Also it is not similar in chess in that those equations that you derive from the starting one, are easily simplified back to the original one (or close to it).
I don't think the former absolve the later and I don't think it is up to you, me, Airbnb, or Uber to decide which laws fall into which buckets. That is the job of our judicial system.

Strongly disagree. The 4th branch of the government should be called "public outcry". If corrupt laws are on the books, trusting ivy league-trained judges to fix it is foolhardy.
I had a fun time with this once. The Jetbrains Toolbox app is written using Qt and is 150mb. I opend the .app package on mac, deleted the frameworks directory, and symlinked it to my system's Qt install.

Passive funds should have consistent and binary rules. Either you're in, or you're out.

Anything more than that is "smart index" aka active.
Why would the malicious user advertise the email associated with crossenv as kent@doddsfamily.com and not kent@dodds.family? Attacker could control the latter and hand you an evil cert?
And more and more we're finding that that is a terrible basis for policy making, because it's only as good as our ability to quantify things. How much is the love of someone's parents worth, for example? Why can't you buy your dog's affection with money? Putting a dollar figure on everything is a terrible way to organize society.

This is not a good example. The reason the iPod sold so poorly the first few years was because you can only sync them with Macs.

Very few people owned Macs, so iPod sales were poor. It took iTunes for Windows to come out before things changed.

I think the difference would be in how much server space each requires. Text and images take up a lot, but still relatively little compared to audio, which is dwarfed by video at the scale that this would take. It's an interesting idea, but someone always has to pay somewhere. Maybe something like integrating Mopidy into Mastodon/GnuSocial might work and could then piggyback off the already created software, but I'd think it would be closer to a reddit clone than a twitter clone.
The bug isn't in the language, you just disagree with some of the goals. It was designed for the compiler to be small and easy to write, with data types and operations that map directly to operations that most CPUs can perform.
I mean, whatever works for you, but I don't understand that at all. You forget to exercise?
> Economic security is national security. You can't really separate them once you're thinking past the immediate short term. A richer enemy will have better weapons, better technology, better surveillance, and better leverage.

Economic security for the well-connected comes at the expense of economic security for the average citizen.

It gave economic security to Ford Motor Company when a law imposing 30% tariffs on all foreign trucks was passed. Did that give economic security to the average citizen though? They must now pay a massive tax every time they buy a foreign truck.
I assure you my malice scales infinitely.
Notifications and fitness tracking are the primary use cases form me. Those alone are enough but I also use mine for Apple Pay. It's a way better user experience paying with the watch than the phone.

It's also a great alarm clock if you wear it to bed since it vibrates silently. No more waking my wife up at 3:00AM when I need to catch an early morning flight.

I used a Fitbit for years and was reasonably happy with it. But the reality is that the Fitbit was cheaply made and not especially attractive. If you're already spending $100+ on a fitness tracker that is going to likely break in a year, it isn't that much of a stretch to spend a little more to get a really nice Apple Watch that lasts longer and looks nice when you're dressed up.
Haha yeah... I kind of like the world writable comments file. Kind of like the original internet guestbooks with just a Name and Comments field.

I'm sure there's some blockchain based commenting thing out there... but the flat file feels so quaint. I might take a stab at this as a way to play around with IPFS.

I almost sprang for the v1 Watch, but waited for the Garmin Fenix 5. It's a far superior product IMO. Garmin is actually really good at designing interfaces for small screens, and t has buttons instead of touch, which I wanted. The battery lasts almost a week (long enough that I don't think about charging it, I just kinda plug it in when I notice the battery indicator below a quarter, which happens not very often). The heart rate was the big feature for me, plus the sapphire crystal (scratches on watch faces drive me crazy), plus the focus on fitness tracking, built-in GPS + GLONASS, and looking like a regular watch while being rugged enough that I don't have to worry about bumping it into stuff. The Garmin connect app works pretty well, with only occasional inabilities to sync. The Suunto Ambit 3 I have previously was much worse in this area. The app syncs with HealthKit and Gyroscope and generally works well for doing what I want with a fitness tracker. The vibration alerts also work well and remind me of meetings even when my phone is sitting in the dock on my desk and I'm working with headphones on.

I think that the Apple Watch really needs some killer features and excellent usability to separate it from the rest of the pack and drive sales. I see all of these smart watches as 5-year-max lifespan products before they're hopelessly obsolete, so spending half a grand+ on any of them is not going to be appealing to the masses.
I swore not to by a smartwatch a couple of years back, but ended up getting the Series 2 as a gift last month. I simply love it! I need constant reminder to exercise, meditate, etc and it seems to be a perfect companion for that.

What surprised me was the battery life. I was expecting to put it on charge every night, but for my limited usage pattern, it lasts a good two days easily. For me, it adds more value than a similarly priced dump watch.
I will be handing my dumb watches down to my child (though they cost more than $400). These... Will go in the trash bin after ~2 years and don't provide the jewelry aspect of a beautiful watch (I understand not everyone is into that sort of thing.)

I don't think you can compare smart watches with normal watches, totally different use case and market.
