Yeah and that is exactly the problem with the license.

You give up your right to sue facebook with ALL your patents while facebook only gives up the right to sue you with their REACT patent. We don't even know if there is such a thing as a "react patent".

No, what rights are you giving away? You always have the right to sue anyone for any reason. There have always been consequences for doing so. If you want to sue Facebook for patent infringement...they own thousands of patents, mind you...they are going to comb through their portfolio and find which ones you're infringing on in your product. That's what any company would do. Google. Apple. Microsoft. Samsung. Yahoo. Any of them.

Manjaro, it's a no-hassle arch distro.

I used to use Kubuntu. But trying to upgrade to the latest version was a nightmare (latter realizing it's because the distro is abandoned). Tried other KDE, ubuntu based distros - always the same story. Buggy as hell.

Finally listened to my friends and moved to arch. Manjaro (kde edition) has been fantastic. Yet to see a bug or non-functioning feature in >6 months of use.

Apparently the ground linseed/flax loses its goodness (major non-fish source of omegas) very quickly after grinding unless refrigerated. So the store bought LSA is no good. You need to grind it yourself and either eat it immediately or keep it in the fridge. Apparently it has a magical smell when ground.

I am a type 2 diabetic using 2000mg of Metformin.

Of anything I've tried that is a "meal", nothing has spiked my blood sugar as much as a bottle of Soylent.

I really wanted to use Soylent but when my BS spiked to 350 after multiple 2h post meal tests, on multiple days, I just had to give up on the idea.

To give you an example, my BS will hit about 200 2h after a big bowl of Oatmeal and then settle back to 130-150 range.

If I eat just vegetables for a week, for example, my BS will move to the 90-120 range.

I've never tried Soylent, but I do have the UK equivalent - Huel [1]. This isn't as simple as drinking it, because you need to measure it out, add water and mix it for a minute or two. Then when it comes to cleaning, it isn't just a cup. There is also this grid like piece of plastic that helps to break up chunks of Huel but is hard to clean.

I like the idea; but in reality I'd rather jut have some toast if I want something quick. I know it's not as good for me but food is more than just getting calories and nutrients in. I get pleasure from eating a variety of textures and flavours.

That argument will easily prove that all videos are inappropriate for Youtube Kids. An actual utilitarian argument would balance your daughter against the kids who liked seeing violent videos, and she would lose.

Furthermore, utilitarianism is a moral position. Why would you prefer a world where your daughter doesn't have nightmares over one where she does?

Your daughter would probably stop having nightmares if you gave her more exposure to that kind of video, too.
Its a good compromise i think. OTherwise to update a field to null it would need a button or right clicking and selected a null option. I would expect the amount of people who actually want to enter a 'null' string is minimal...

Lele Tao: The 'online goddess' who earns $450k a year
To put it bluntly: fuck the living. It's impossible to please every living relative and close friend.

The solution with Facebook is simple: if you don't want to have a deceased person showing up on your feed, unfriend them and add them to your block list. Assuming Facebook is well-designed, blocking someone should prevent them from ever showing up in your feed, even if others are tagging them in photos or posting to their wall. As for your being aware that "the profile is still there and other people are interacting with it", get over it. It's not your place to dictate how others should deal with the death. You have the choice to not look; so don't look if you don't want to. Lack of self-control to not check back every month to see what other people are doing is not a valid reason to nuke the profile from orbit.

Speaking to the internet at large: the only way to mandate how companies must respond to news of a death would require tying every single page load on the internet to an official government ID. Nobody wants to provide their government ID to ThePirateBay and PornHub just so that their entire online identity can uniformly vanish upon death.

How many people burn their photo albums when a loved one dies, in order to remove all traces of that person? Nobody. Why should the digital equivalent be any different? More simply, why should an online presence be terminated? Just... "why?". I suspect every attempted answer to that question is born of self-centred excuses that have no merit; ie: based on "I" or "me" - "I don't want to be reminded", "It pains me to see", etc.

tldr; The whole think stinks of "Won't somebody think of the children?!", but instead it's "Won't somebody think of me me me me me?!". The level of absurdity seems equivalent to me.
> incompatible paradigms

See Architectural Mismatch or, Why it's hard to build systems out of existing parts[1]

Yes, we are not good at it, but we need to do it. Very often, the dominant paradigm is not appropriate for the application at hand, and often no single paradigm is appropriate for the entire application.

For example, UI programming does not really fit call/return well at all[2].

> attaching software unit A to software unit B .. master/slave

Case in point: this is largely due to the call/return architectural style being so incredibly dominant that we don't even see it as a distinct style, with alternatives. I am calling it 'The Gentle Tyranny of Call/Return'.

> I feel like docker is core to more businesses than compressing/decompressing files.

All Docker images are glorified tar layers that are compressed with gzip. By definition, all users of Docker are users of gzip and tar. I understand what your point is (it's not as visible) but I don't agree with saying it's "core to more businesses".

Also, if someone is using Kubernetes they soon might not be aware (or even care) whether they're using Docker thanks to the CRI.

> However, in such a world I don't think the courts would approve of this 'hack' and kill the enforceability of these clauses precisely because they render patents useless.

I believe that contracts that terminate if you sue the other party are fairly standard, and in court these licenses would be considered fairly similar to those contracts.

I don't really know what a court would say, but if I sign a contract that says "I will not sue X for any patent infringement under the condition they don't sue me for patent infringement" I would be surprised if a court found that contract unenforceable. The right to file a patent suit is not a fundamental human right after all, why would signing it away not be possible?

Is there some crucial factor in Venezuela's woes which clearly arises from socialism? It seems likely that the US will soon become the latest demonstration that corruption can damage a country with any form of government. Chomsky identifies that as the problem in Venezuela, which I find plausible.

The vscode rust support is progressing nicely and if vscode is already your go-to editor it's the obvious choice.

However if you just want to dip your toes and get going with rust with minimal fuss, I find IntelliJ community+Rust to be the best combo. Vscode+Rust is not as polished yet.
You're not saying the classicists confuse the smooth breathing with the acute accent, right? Only they can't figure out how to typeset them?

How do you enter them nowadays by the way? In the early days of the internet before unicode there were special fonts from SIL for example that first of all were using Latin characters (you'd type W and it would look like Ω) and secondly I think had the diacritics as separate characters, so the font would combine them. It was messy but at least you could type it on a normal keyboard. You could even read it in its ASCII form, most of the hacks were pretty reasonable.
I have Huel for breakfast on work days only. I agree that the preparation and cleaning isn't that much different from say, having a bowl of cereal.

It works for me though, I wake up at 6:40, get a shower, iron some clothes, drink some Huel and am out the door at 7:20 to get the tube to go to work.

Other meals during the day are "normal", but it ticks the box for breakfast for me (quick to consume, fits in with my routine etc)
Ubuntu. Back in the day I only had access to really expensive and painfully slow Internet connection. Ubuntu was the only distro I could get my hands on thanks to Canonical's free CD shipping program. It mostly just works and I've stuck with it ever since.

I looked into this because I remembered weex having a different alibaba site[1]. it looks like weex became an ASF incubator project ~6 mos ago. around the same time, evan you (vue creator) mentioned on twitter (or maybe a github comment, I don't remember) that there is massive development going into weex right now. I would guess it'll be a few more months before we see a solid website with solid docs from ASF.

Even if something new is UTF-8, you'd basically have to guarantee that it never interfaces with anything old and/or broken to ensure the data survives intact. I've recently received a package where the ö in my name was written as Ì¦ which I've never seen before. Things go wrong in the most unexpected places and the sad thing is that even if you use UTF-8 for text storage, you still have to know what you can do and how to do it to not mangle it.

There are a lot of Unicode-hostile environments out there. Java is old enough to always require explicit encoding declaration for pretty much any tool ... compiler, documentation generator, etc. Forget it at any one point and you get garbage. Reading or writing text files should always make the encoding explicit, but rarely does so. C#'s string methods all support, but don't require, a Culture parameter, without which you're practically guaranteed to do things like case conversion, or substring searches wrong in the general case. There was an awesome and long answer by tchrist on SO once about what the Perl boilerplate is to properly support Unicode for many or most circumstances (it's complicated and long and I doubt many people are going those lengths).

Point being, even when using something that supports Unicode well, the programmer still has to care, simply because text and language are messy things and it simply isn't possible to have a magic bullet that does everything right.

The problem is - good surfers are like magnets. People see them catching a wave and assume that there is a good reason they are surfing there rather than up or down the coast. Also people get burnt by bad decisions - after a few weeks of surfing I struck out on my own to find new beaches and swiftly learnt the reasons they were empty - and wasted good days at bad beaches.

I also think the 'pecking order' is made out to be far worse than it is. As soon as most people see you in the water for at least a couple of weekends, and know you are trying, they aren't dicks - especially if you talk to them both in and out of the water and ask their advice. If you just barrel around on a board without talking or understanding the beach then there certainly will be stress as people worry they are going g to have to spend their day either looking after you, out for you or rescuing you.
I think there's an argument that a society which only makes it to reproduction and not much longer wouldn't last very long compared to one which has enough old people to help raise the kids (after all that is one of the theories as to why we even live to 80+ in the first place).

But yea, agreed that the types of foods we're eating have changed and continue to change, and thus far the driver of change is not our design, but rather market forces and consumer demand. I think something like soylent is a step in the right direction, even if it's risky in a way that any new science is risky (consider how we were using X-rays when we first discovered them for trying on shoes, before we knew the harm).
From the perspective of a German who follows a lot of american news this seems to be exactly right. I would love to hear from someone originally from the US who follows German news/lives in Germany.

Interestingly there is -in my opinion- an unreasonably high number of people in Germany who are against paying for this state funded broadcast. I think many people don't realize how lucky we are that our media is not (consciously or unconsciously) driving us apart to generate more views/clicks etc.

Arch Linux.
Why?: It's simple and how you want it to be. The wiki is great and the Arch Repo is great. With AUR and official repo, you will never need to look elsewhere for packages and it's very simple, unlike, Ubuntu's PPA.
And, even with the rolling release, it's pretty stable.I used Ubuntu previously and had a lot of problems with stability. I have been more than a year now on archlinux.
Sparky Linux. It's a Debian 9 based OS. It has all the benefits of Debian: stable and have the largest software compatibility. But makes it working out-of-the-box.

So in some way it's like Ubuntu but slimmer(faster) and more stable. I've tested so many distros and in the end Sparky (Debian9) is the most stable, fast and productive distribution on my hardware (dell rugged laptop).
I use Crux.

It's a source-based distribution similar to Gentoo but far, far simpler.

And that's why I use it: It's simple.

It also has a great community. :)
Heck, in some fonts ` even takes the form of ‛ or ‘. Which is probably where typing quotes like ``this'' comes from (which looks absolutely awful nowadays since it mixes an uncombined diacritic with a kludge of a punctuation character).
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the Google SDK is only used to record whether the app was installed by way of an ad campaign Mozilla is running on Google. All other telemetry data goes directly to Mozilla servers, and contains things like "feature X was used"—not browsing data.

> This is a very naïve view of what incognito/private browsing mode is for.

Maybe I didn't word it correctly, I meant that all it's good for is to hide porn from your spouse.

If you think incognito mode protects you in any way, than it's you who is naive.

If anyone really wanted to track you, they can use your IP and see every single page you've visited. Even the size of your window is enough to track you.

Tor is the only tool I know that you can use if you don't want to be tracked.

> We live in a world where even tiny things can be taken out of context, manipulated and used against us either by the people close to us, or the places we work for, or even the government.

Sure, but I think that we shouldn't be paranoid about it (please don't hack my account to prove a point :-)). What is the actual risk that your government will track your browser and use a tiny thing against you? I wear seatbelts because the risk of an accident is high, I don't wear a helmet to protect my head in case a small meteorite hits me.

I don't think any government or anyone has the right to spy on anyone else, and organizations should work to prevent that, but I think a lot of it is hype. We live in a world where people post pictures on Facebook of themselves drunk, doing drugs and showing off things they stole, all while leaving harsh, racist, hateful comments.

I would be worried more about ourselves leaving ever-lasting indications we're idiots on social media, more than about governments spying on us to get evidence to frame us.
It's very simple at the moment, I have my phone forward all missed calls to a Twilio number, which has a webhook to my service.

The service just says a message to the user, gives them the option to leave a voicemail, then I call the transcription API to try and transcribe the message into an SMS message (sort of like what Google Voice and Apple offers on iPhones but I don't have an iPhone and I believe Google Voice is only available in the US)

I plan to do more with it soon, Twilio's transcription API is a bit rubbish, I think it might be geared towards American accents so it fails quite miserably with British ones with hilarious consequences.
Thank you for agreeing with my point that there are more ways to judge the validity of a law than its ability to protect us.

I list more examples at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15052587 .
Exactly.

I don't see how private browsing can protect you in any way, while your IP is in the clear along with all HTTP requests you make.
I think copy-left is good enough.

Also, you're right except for the fact that lots of very very useful projects are not backed by large companies or foundations like apache. What you describe a solution is precisely the world I don't want to live in. I don't want the MAD state of things to be held in check by large organizations -- humans kind of forget themselves in large organizations, far too easily.

Redis is a great success story, but again, that organization is way way weaker than facebook. They just have more money in the bank, and MAD only works if EVERYONE has nukes. It doesn't work if one side is carrying rifles and only one side has nukes.

Maybe we should fix the patent system instead -- I'm aware it's hugely nuanced, but for all the griping that tech does, surprisingly nothing has changed -- the tech companies that make it just don't seem to be trying to change the system once they're established (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
Venezuela is very far from the government he prefers. In fact it's close to the exact opposite, since he's an an anarchist and vocal critic of Lenin and Stalin. He however supports the rights of Latin American countries to elect their own government over CIA backed dictators who privatise resources and funnel out a country's wealth.

The fact that social democratic countries in Latin America have overall had better development than extreme free market societies like haiti or pre-socialist Brazil is pretty widely accepted, dutch disease inflicted Venezuela notwithstanding.
