Is it possible that all these forks will eventually just become alternative cryptocurrencies just like Etherum or Litecoin?

When people don't eat meat, they eat more of other things. You would reduce impact but not remove it. And ban enough, you could have a revolution coming.
You're in a great position either way. Many people could only dream of picking between such options.

Obviously maintaining your interest level though is crucial. Could you catch up with your boss and say something like "You have a persuasive argument, but I'm really worried about getting bored. Is there something we can do that might address that?"

Realistically, with what they're spending, keeping you interested might be small-change for them. It could be something like 10-20% time to tinker on something tangentially useful to the company, or periodic breaks to get away and clear your head , or something novel at your desk.

Their offer suggests they value you and they might rather keep someone they value with 80% regular output than re-hire and get someone unproductive, with no knowledge of their systems, etc.

I was actually driving down a boulevard in San Francisco, California (CA I-1; 19th Blvd), which has the expected frequent downhills and uphills, and I shit you not a two trailer, solid iron, kind-of-construction-refuse-freighter 14-wheeler was braking at each of the stoplights by skidding--like 5 or 10 feet, on its rear wheels. The same kind of skidding that everyone who's ever fish-tailed has come to revere. But at 25 tons. And 9 feet high. At 30 MPH, and downhill, for like 2 miles.

Eventually he made it with me onto the I-280, but instead of reporting it, I spent the entire time becoming intimately accustomed to the incapabilities of my car's voice dialing system. I can't imagine something like that being legal.

Oh, and if anyone reads this: Look up some videos of trucks and vans with unsecured loads. Like landscaping trucks and vans, or trucks with Home Depot/home-improvement loads. Their stuff falls off, so follow your reflexive unease and repulsion and leave their lane and proximity.
I'm a fellow Pebble user. Currently wearing a Pebble Time. My favorite feature of the watch is the screen, because it's always on, and, like traditional digital watches, ambient light increases visibility of the screen (unlike the Apple Watch, which is hindered by bright ambient light). At the moment, I plan to wear this watch until it stops working or can't hold a charge. After this, I don't know where I'll go. I might try the Apple Watch, but prices seem a bit steep for me. I might just go back to a non-smart watch.

I wish Pebble had managed the business side of things better, because I like(d) the product.
Oh I love this - thanks for sharing!
How is this different from companies abiding to a country's tax laws for example. If you want to do business in a country, you stick to its rules. China's rules call for censorship so companies must comply or leave. A bit too simplistic but that's how I see it.
File Sharing Experiment

Take a look at: http://www.amanithsvg.com
They've launched these specifically to gather feedback, so do put that into the feedback form. These are in no way finalized and it's definitely possible that they'll take that into account.

I believe the initial inspiration for this was people asking for a place to quickly jot things down that they'll then copy over into other applications, so might be a bit awkward to get those two use-cases under one hood, but I'm sure they'll try, if the demand exists.

The iPod happened during a perfect storm of young people suddenly accumulating fileshared boatloads of unsorted MP3s that they desperately wanted to take away from their computers (then mostly clunky desktop systems), all while carrying significantly less cash into record stores than before. I see nothing that could come even close to that for the watch. To people spending many of their waking hours pondering the cultural relevance of the different strains of pop music (back then: almost everybody under 25), the iPod, together with the underlying file-sharing boom was world-changing, much like having a car is world-changing.

The analogy between iPod and watch might still hold of you look exclusively at buyers of the "minor iPods" at the time when the classic was still dominant (in other words: when the classic was still known as just the iPod). The distinction between people who wanted a portable music player and got the iPod (because it was the best), vs people who wanted an iPod and therefore got a portable music player (because that's what iPods were). The latter pattern could repeat itself with the watch just fine, but I don't know if that can happen with the former pattern happens before. The iPod started as a life changer (for a certain group/generation) that only later turned into a wealth indicator novelty. The watch is taking a bet to skip the first stage, because moving notifications from phone to wrist is a much smaller step than making the wondrously huge filesharing MP3 libraries of the day pocketable.

> However, btrfs is my favorite FS, been using it on my home computer and backup drives for at least 6 years, before it was included in the kernel, love the subvolumes, snapshots, and compression; never had issues with it .

Slightly off topic. I chose btrfs as my main filesystem recently on a system running Ubuntu/Xubuntu. I have done some research on backing up (with the advantage of snapshots) but it looks like there aren't (m)any graphical tools (this gets a little more confusing with /@ and /@home subvolumes on the same partition being treated separately for snapshots, AFAIK).

Do you manage it all from the command line and/or do you have any suggestions for graphical tools to do "as-is clones of entire partitions" (and also incremental backups) to local external drives (not over the network)? Or if you could point to any great documentation or blog posts on this topic, that'd be helpful too (I have read some bits of the btrfs wiki and the btrfs parts in the Arch wiki).

Currently I'm doing a plain rsync using Grsync, and not really taking advantage of btrfs features like snapshots.

The main reason I'm looking at avoiding the command line is to make it easier for others around me to use it.

Android offers VectorDrawable for this purpose, and Android Studio will automatically convert SVGs for you. It works great for icons and other "material" stuff, anything where flat colors and simple paths are sufficient. I believe there is also a support library to use it on older OS versions but have no experience with that since we're happy with 5.0+ for our app. I highly recommend it over making all those PNGs for different screen densities.
That's exactly the point: exclude those people. The idea is not to have everybody pass the test.

"If you end goal is to statically type your whole application then flow has little or no advantages" does not somehow translate to: If your end goal is to /not/ statically type your whole application then typescript has a disadvantage. Both TypeScript and Flow are gradually typed and annotations are completely optional at every step of the way. Neither TypeScript nor Flow differ whatsoever in this regard.

Better verification is well-meaning and all, but it ignores the central problem of NPM-land: there are just way too many tiny little one-off packages for any human being to possibly verify, even with the right tools. And whenever you happen to include something non-trivial you're basically trusting that somebody else has done just that with all of their dependencies, and so on and so forth until you have 600 different packages nobody knows anything about in your node_modules directory.

It's almost as if most of NPM should be replaced by some kind of ... self-contained encyclopedia of code. Maybe it could even be maintained by a single group of people that get along with each other and adhere to a release schedule. And perhaps there is some way it could be organized into modules with consistent documentation. While we're talking about this amazing world of tomorrow: maybe those docs could even be on the cloud, with hyperlinks between sections!

Okay, sorry, getting ahead of myself. It's crazy-talk, I know.
I've never had this issue, and I have to say as someone who listens to longer tracks(mixes on the order of 1hr+) I really enjoy their seeking functionality. It's much more thumbfriendly than any other app I've seen, but then again I haven't really looked at many other apps.
Not if your product is something like a CAD tool (see: Altium).

How many customers did Altium lose because a design was bigger than they could handle?
… and subsequently capitulated anyway. That's kind of key here.
That would be an awesome business card. But the job sounds like a lot of meetings.
Making food out of thin air
Unsurprising. Red Hat has not hired upstream Btrfs developers for years, where SUSE has hired bunches. Meanwhile Red Hat has upstream ext4, XFS and LVM developers.

If you're going to support a code base for ~10 years, you're going to need upstream people to support it. And realistically Red Hat's comfortable putting their eggs all in the device-mapper, LVM, and XFS basket.

But, there's more:

Btrfs has no licensing issues, but after many years of work it still has significant technical issues that may never be resolved.

Appreciate how you illustrate the different aspects. I can take being the odd one out every now and then as a vegan. I'm aware that my choice places me in an odd spot from time to time. But it can be so good to not stick out sometimes. Whether it is that you have nice convenience food that can be handled just like the original or a taste that you thought you had given up or a social event where your food doesn't even register as weird.

And I believe these imitations really do help a lot of people make the transition either away from meat or towards less meat. Which I see as a good thing.
The cost overruns for these plants were also increased by untested regulations -- that were designed to simplify and accelerate their development. Like all complex systems regulations need to get debugged and they threw a beta release at an advanced reactor design that was already a beta release itself. The regulations wound up needing to be patched which meant that the reactor designs had to change mid-project.
Google's new ad blocker: It's just popped up in Chrome Canary on Android
A current problem with " should just use crates" is that cargo only works with source code dependencies, not binary libraries.

So each new crate added to your project ends up increasing the overall build time, which gets exponentially bad if you happen to add a dependency to a crate than happens to have a big dependency list.

I have a very basic word counting application with a GUI written in Gtk-rs, a fresh build straight out of "git clone" takes a few minutes, mainly thanks to Pango.
Just 7.1MB of source? That's smaller than some desktop chat applications used to be, even when they basically just use the default windows styles.

You can't assume that the original developer will be the first person to post their package. For example, I published some code on my blog long before NPM was a thing. Today that code gets 10k downloads a month on NPM but I had nothing to do w/ publishing it on NPM and haven't audited it for changes.
Thanks - I remember reading about Perelman before but I didn’t realise the proof was unpublished.
I find FF actually faster than Chrome. But maybe that's because I actually open multiple tabs which load in background, then I just switch between them. Though to be fair, I never knew about this difference... It just felt that Chrome is slower somehow.

I wonder if they are both the same, it's just that us users have learned different workflows based on strengths of each browser?
This conflict might resolve soon.

My country of origin ( Bulgaria ) just signed a contract with FYRM which states that we have some shared history [1].

I think the current government of FYRM will do as much as it can to open the door for joining EU, so I would not be surprised if the talks about the name with Greece, continue in the next months.

Hmm... did I somehow misinterpret this statement from the GP?

> The important distinction is that if you tell typescript a function can take in any value it makes no attempt to type check. Flow will look at each usage of the function and try to determine if the value being run through is valid.

This reads to me to mean that while annotations are optional in both systems, if you don't provide them for a particular subsystem in TypeScript, the static analysis will simply perform no checks for usages of that particular subsystem, while in Flow it will still attempt to validate your subsystem with properties it can infer on a best-effort basis from things like the way its functions are called.
The New Tesla Is Great, but It Isn't Progress by Tyler Cowen
GPUs have graphic calls anymore. At best they have fragment and pixel shaders.
Converting a vector graphic into a good shader is not trivial, compared to using the built in functions of texturing.

It gets even worse once you realize how limited older mobile GPUs are or what are the incompatible subsets of features supported at decent performance.

> promote the use of daylight

I'd like to offer a contrary opinion about the obsession with daylight, floor to ceiling windows in new houses and condos, and glass skyscrapers. I'm fine with good artificial lighting. I don't mind some windows if it's a nice view or for fresh air (assuming the windows even open).

But in my opinion, good man-made lighting is better and preferable to daylight. We don't live according to the sun's schedule anymore, so you do need artificial lightning for most of the time anyway. Optimizing houses and buildings for daylight leads to weird shapes (like those diagonal ceilings in the article), higher cost (of course), zoning wars when one building might cast a shadow on another, weaker structures, and terrible climate control (glass buildings trap more heat in summer and are colder in winter).
Arduino had the advantage of being open source from the components up - you could make your own boards, and many did. Unfortunately, it seems that more recent models like the Yùn have broken that promise: http://www.wifi4things.com/arduino-yun-what-is-under-the-hoo...

The Raspberry Pi Foundation are not an open source organisation. They produce some open source software (I can't even find coherent source for the pixel desktop), but all of their boards are closed source.
And it will break at random due to API or ABI incompatibility. Have fun gluing the pieces back together.
Definitely looks pretty similar
I'm not sure if "depth" is the right word. Maybe inflation because investors know large S&P 500 funds need to buy SNAP.
This is one of the reasons that it's so hard to have constructive conversations about this sort of issue – the gross hyperbole.

The US judicial system, prisons and government obviously have many flaws, arguably getting worse, and has a difficult relationship with human rights. However, the US government does not do things like nationally censor particular children's cartoons because they might insult the president (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/17/winnie-the-poo...) or jail human rights activists for 'subversion' (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/25/china-jails-li...).

The US has a human rights problem in some senses; China has an objectively worse one. It's okay to criticise the latter as well.
"ntended"
What you need to know before you board that ML train
I think a bunch of HN readers are also interested in software product design. To me, this looks like a nice example of that. They appear to be taking a selection of fairly complicated functionality and packaging it so that non-technical people (architects?) can use it when discussing lighting options with people who they are helping design their houses.
Why Automated Email Marketing Works – Money Quick Fix
I interviewed with Stripe early this year, and whilst sadly we couldn't go forward due to the fact that I'm British and was too late for an H1B - it was one of the most pleasant interviews I have ever had.
Please also count in server side data downloaded for identical functionality. It does not help if 80% of the app is downloaded after installation.
Wasn't trying to stop people from criticising China's; I agree it's appalling. But many seem to forget that the US' is also terrible.
To me, the issue is not the type system being TC, which may or may not be desirable depending on applications.

What is a bit unsettling is that somebody noticed that it was in fact TC: this property should be clear from the type system design and not something to be discovered afterwards.
I don't think most/any of those points would likely calm the nerves of someone who's worried about AI, like Elon Musk. Those people seem to be concerned not with the current state of AI, but the future state: what happens if we do succeed in creating strong AI, what will the AI then do. The fact that we're not as close as movies and bad news articles might have you believe is inconsequential to their reasoning, since that reasoning is based on three tenets:

A) We're striving to make strong AI.

B) It seems plausible that as computing and AI research continues, we'll get to strong AI eventually given that brains are "just" extremely complex computers.

C) We do not know what strong AI will be able to do or how it will act, if it exceeds human intelligence.

I'm not trying to troll on behalf of AI fearmongering, I swear. But I have read some of the warnings about AI that some (occasionally notable) people have made. I haven't seen many/any responses that don't just boil down to "there's nothing to worry about because strong AI is still a long ways off, so let's just keep working on it". As I noted before, those kind of counterarguments don't seem to address the anti-AI concerns in the long run.
