I'm completely over the 8 hour plus 1 hour lunch workday that results in spending 9 hours at or around your place of employment. When you factor in your commute of, say, 30 min each way, you've just spent 10 hours of your day.

Add 8 hours sleep plus 1 hour for dinner plus 1 hour getting up and ready in the morning, that leaves you with 4 hours for your life during the weekdays. Then you watch an hour of TV with your significant other, now you've got 3 hours left. It gets pretty hard to pursue a side project, art, or a hobby living like that. Can you cut an hour or two off sleep? Maybe, but I didn't factor in things like working out or calling your friends/family so it's probably a wash.

What's more is that the lifestyle I've described above doesn't leave people with much time to consume products/services. If people had shorter workdays they would actually have time to spend money, which you'd think capitalism would want most of all. Cutting down the workday would save people so many pointless meetings as well since managers might actually feel some sort of constraint on the time they have their employees in their offices.

I think most people in tech or high-skilled white collar jobs see how their fellow employees do various things to reduce the 40 hour workweek to something reasonable. People work from home one day a week often, or they work four days a week supposedly doing 10 hour days instead of 8. There's a lot of charade involved in the 40 hour week for many employees. However, many other employees aren't able to find these loopholes and it results in a real grind...especially when the job isn't just 40 hours a week and turns into 50 or 60, which quickly becomes unbearable.

We've really got to stop this madness. If you work at SpaceX or Blue Origin, then yeah, what you're doing is pretty important and you might actually save the human race, so you can feel good about those 40 hours. But if you're working at an ad agency making gum commercials, let's get real, it could and should be done in 4 hours a day. And besides, SpaceX and Blue Origin can double their staff if needed to offset the shorter hours. Since their employees would be better rested and happier they probably won't even need 2x their staff, maybe just 1.5x.
I plan to. The blob set was a real design triumph. I loved the flat simple style, and they were in line with Material Design guidelines. The new ones are a joke.
Glad I could share my father's wisdom :)
I am not knocking python here at all, just pointing out that it doesn't work well for some tasks. I wonder if the startup latency could be fixed though?
I've been feeling the same way. And "out of love" is a great source for creations, but survival is where I have been drawing my inspiration.

I've gradually been avoiding large cities and crowds and seeking an off-grid lifestyle because it has occurred to me that the founders of places like Rome and America did that very thing.
I asked you to please don't speak about things that you don't know.
The page that you linked has nothing to do with presenting multiple items with different types.
It is defining the visualisation of the control itself, defining the arrangement method for the contained items, defining the same visualisation for each item and finally it defines the container visualisation for each item.
To replicate the JSX logic in the example discussed the code that I posted is all you need.
It will bind the source of the ItemsControl to a list in the ViewModel that contains the different ViewModels that you need to display.
WPF automatically will find the DataTemplates defined for those ViewModels and use that in the visualisation.
No if, no switch, no map and nothing at all in the XAML file.
Just:

<ItemsControl ItemsSource={Binding ListOfThings} />
The NPR app was pretty good when I first used it (~2014?
Whenever they started advertising it on-air). But lately it seems like it gets really messed up during playback: arbitrarily rewinding back to earlier point within the current show, e.g. When that happens, the cue/seek mechanism is totally useless and doesn't match the show's playback at all. It's rarely a problem for 3-4 minute news segments of ME, ATC, etc. It's totally unbearable for "Ask Me Another", "Wait, wait, don't tell me...", etc.
One tax holiday every 40 years doesn't overcome the disadvantage of super high corporate tax rates every year. Apple shareholders would have already reinvested most of that money in the US, instead its increasing Irelands productivity,

Also American chocolate apparently tastes like vomit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/3nhoiw/e...

When I first tried a Hershey bar I had wondered if it was stale or gone bad somehow. Eventually I realized it is supposed to taste like that. Now I don't mind it really, especially for smores, those really won't work the same with European style chocolate.
It's about 10x more if you count just police and fire; about 2x more if you count defense spending along with policing, using UK numbers. (Nowhere near 100x!)

Of course, many more people spread colds, cause accidents, etc than commit crimes, so it makes sense that the cost of controlling their externalities is more than those of criminals.

But your choice seems arbitrary: you couch it in pragmatic terms, because you're not categorically against government programs, but then avoid actual cost-benefit analysis, rendering your opinion nothing more than whim.

That's what it always seems to come down to with "libertarians": unprincipled bullshit that aligns with their whims (such as yes police, no NHS).
The why is here: https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/310

Beyond that, the last fork forced some positive changes. I hope this one does the same.
> My biggest complaint isn't that NPR is too liberal, only that it is very surface-thought in its discussion of topics. Too often a story will raise what seem to be obvious and interesting (but maybe difficult) questions and the journalist or interviewer will just move on.

Tom Ashbrook (On Point) does this especially egregiously. Some of his simplistic (or biased) "So what you're saying is..." moments make me cringe.

I realize it's a call in show, but jesus, there isn't anyone out there with a less obvious liberal bias / more technical background who's interested in the job?

Let callers or interviewees make their points fairly, then debate them. Rhetorically dancing around the topics with the advantage of being the host just makes me feel like I'm listening to Bill O'Reilly. (Ugh)

> I read somewhere that npr isn't liberally biased, but their fan base is mostly liberal, because liberals tend to prefer news that has no bias.

You don't need to "read somewhere" about whether a news source is biased. You just need to read news across a spectrum of sources. And you will realize that NPR definitely has a liberal bias if you have enough breadth in your sources. I'm a far-left liberal but I'm not afraid to admit when a liberal news source is biased. Everyone loves to point out the obvious bias at Fox News and Breitbart and Drudge but then delude themselves that there are no liberally biased news sources.

You cannot remap Caps Lock key with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. If it were really that straightforward, then Vim users would not be forced to rely on registry hacks or tools like Uncap or AutoHotKey to map Caps Lock to Escape [0].

If you dislike editing Windows registry like me, you need a separate program to be running.

Proof of work systems are, at the core, a race towards ever greater energy consumption. They're an environmental disaster waiting to happen. Surprised how little attention this gets.

I would argue that the benefit of decentralization is not worth the price.
How in practice would you go about putting AOSP on a device without the vendor cooperating? Is there some kind of secure boot system that always accepts AOSP images?
I'm a Bernie supporting far left liberal, and NPR has a clear neo-liberal (i.e. central-conservative globalist) agenda.
It looks like the script is there to block phantomjs based bots (which can evaluate JS). It seems to check for the global properties mentioned in this article:

https://blog.shapesecurity.com/2015/01/22/detecting-phantomj...

If the properties are defined, it doesn't do anything, otherwise it reloads the page.

It is obfuscated but that seems to be what's going on anyway.
I'm surprised this includes non-public stats like MRR metrics. Is that normal for a TechCrunch demo day summary?
The Butlerian Jihad won't be successful. Tech creates wealth and often concentrates power. The elites will push ahead with tech development. Power imbalance in our current society means they will succeed if people do not resist in unison. Tech also has a lot of economic benefits so regular people will be divided on the Jihad.
There are plenty of times a tool is called in a tight loop ($PS1, xargs, or a ... | while read). Paying 35 ms over and over again adds up quick.
That's fair, and I'll concede that point. I didn't add a disclaimer ("communism (at scale...)") because I felt it'd make my comment a bit less forceful.
Rather, it has been started. Xi currently is a very cool technology demo, but not a viable editor.
It only made things expensive because of low segmented volume. Otherwise it's a 10% bump on RAM and free on everything else.

No mention of early hacking is complete without someone chiming in, saying what an excellent read Steven Levy's "Hackers" is - starting off with the shenanigans of MIT Tech Model Railroad Club members in the fifties, he follows the hacker movement - if one can call it that - Captain Crunch, Marvin Minsky, Woz - it reads like a who's who. Lots of amusing and at times educational anecdotes, all written in Levy's eminently readable prose.
There's a network called K-Love that broadcasts contemporary Christian music across the United States[1]. It's the same programming in every market, apart from the occasional regional flavor in advertising and/or pledge drives.

I didn't search to confirm this, but I'm pretty sure that federal regulations prevent fully syndicated radio stations across markets, but they don't apply to nonprofits. That's why you'll have an iHeartRadio Top 40 station in every metropolitan area but they all have their own talent.

Easy. Skip the one hour for lunch, one hour for dinner, and one hour to get ready in the morning. I got for a run and shower and dress, and only need 30 minutes to do all that and leave the house.

These are things you can fix yourself. If you really want more time, millions of people do it.

Also, I cycle in and out so that commute is actually exercise and much more pleasant.

> If people had shorter workdays they would actually have time to spend money

Ok, not sure why that is automatically a great thing.
Great post. I just disabled my Facebook account. It was my most visited and least enjoyed site. It is really refreshing to not be constantly opening it. This article really helped frame how I'm feeling about it. I think it's time to cut more consumption out of my life to free up time for making things. I have so many ideas. I don't need to be consuming video game content for hours a day.
You should both check out WNYC'S "On The Media." It's NPR style, but every interview you hear is a 40-60-120 minute interview that's been boiled down to 8-10 min for the show. It's truly bespoke radio in that way, so they get to cover the issues at the core of something. It's my favorite show week to week.
TBF, Apple did release one update that caused issues with the radio on the Verizon network[0]. Carrier testing should have caught that.

I'd agree with taurath that if bias is there it's in the story framing or selection. And also sometimes interviewee: the various shows seem to like "Here's an archetype (e.g. soldier) who you would expect to be conservative, but actually has liberal views."

If you summarize every story, you end up with a lot more "affirming a liberal view of the world" ones than "affirming a conservative view."

That said, I still believe the content of the stories presented hews far closer to objective fact and truth than what I've seen from conservative media. So I wouldn't say it's nearly that biased.
Regardless they both cost money to run. Looks like the cheapest NAT gateway[1] is currently $0.045/hr which is about $32.76 per month. Then you also get charged $0.045 per gigabyte transferred as a "data processing charge" in addition to standard AWS data transfer charges.

> What if there were no NPR, might it be that we'd have high quality commercial talk radio instead?

Why would that be? If not for the competition with NPR's programming, you mean?

BTW talk radio is no competition for news radio. I don't care for talk radio at all. Facts about global events and sprinkle in a few human interest stories, that's just fine. NPR produces some talk radio shows but most public radio stations air them when no one's listening. But if you meant commercial news radio, then yeah, maybe we would have more CNN, FOX, etc produced news radio if we had less NPR or more spectrum.
That's just an anti-radiation missile, which have been around for decades.

We already have the technology for autonomous drones, but they potentially create a huge political problem. You don't want to be the guy who authorized an autonomous drone which promptly wiped out a bus full of nuns.
Google and Apple are going to licenses their autonomous tech. Tessa, GM and Volvo are going to sell autonomous cars.

No one who reaches stage 4 is going to build tens of millions of their own cars within months and build the parking/service infrastructure nationwide to boot. No one is going to download their app till they do.

The idea that the company that is first and best at developing autonomous tech is going to also simultaneously build huge factories and make good cars is ludicrous.
> Computer programming is, according to Wired’s Clive Thompson, “The Big Blue Collar Job.” In countries like Australia and Estonia, coding has become a central part of school curricula. If programming is the wave of the future in employment, prisons in several American states may be cutting incarcerated people off from gaining important skills by preventing them from possessing or receiving books about computer programming.

Journalists clearly have a problem with the fact that the asocial nerds and geeks from high school are making much more money than them. That's why we see so many articles referring to us as "coders" (like the people that do medical data entry) instead of "software engineers," and why we see people like Clive Thompson classifying us as blue collar workers--unlike journalists, who presumably are white collar. Considering that to the average reader, rightly or wrongly, one of the central distinctions between blue and white collar workers is intelligence, with blue collar workers stereotyped as being less intelligent, Thompson's classification is a rather obvious slight.
There's no rocket science in maintenance support (eg security patches) for 10 years. That's the only thing that is necessary to keep the device usable.
Does anyone have a technical explanation of how gps spoofing works?
You're upset because other protestors showed up and exercised their right to free speech? Sorry you're disgusted, but it's free speech, you know.
Their description of a "killer robot" ["A killer robot is a fully autonomous weapon that can select and engage targets without human intervention."] sounds awfully similar to terminators from the film franchise. Seems like it's only a matter of time before something like SKY NET comes online and films like Terminator and the Matrix become the new dystopian reality. :\

Maybe the UN can create something similar to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but effectuate Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" (https://www.auburn.edu/~vestmon/robotics.html)

Computers (by their current architecture) don't have the ability to become conscious and self-aware, so the world doesn't have to worry about robots consciously choosing to eliminate us or conquer society anytime soon
The proof-of-work algorithm is an expensive proposition. I wonder if there are ways to utilize all that power and compute to perform useful work... like reCAPTCHA. The desired characteristics would include to ability to dynamically modify the difficulty of the problem.
> Skip the ... one hour for dinner

Not really sure how you are accomplishing this unless you are getting takeout. Between prep, cooking, consuming, cleaning, that is easily 30 minutes to an hour. If you cook enough for several meals that mitigates the cost somewhat, but there are other sacrifices made there.
We’ve delegated the larger part of our days on earth to consuming what someone else has created. [...] I told him my favorite example of those who “figure it out” are rappers who are criticized for being talentless but still rake in millions. Who cares if they’re talentless (by someone’s standards)? At least they are still CREATING something! Lil Wayne [...] has released 1,747 songs

So the idea is make lots of stuff, but avoid consuming all of the stuff that other people create...though should everyone follow this ideology it would be infeasible to make content prolifically because it relies on consumption to drive the next creation.

Is there a middle ground, like practice your creativity prolifically but only publish your best so that the world is inspiring rather than a mire of half thought-out, tepid excrement? Maybe all of this shit clogging up the TV and internet is what leaves the masses drooling on themselves.

What if it's a defensive weapon. Like the "Doomsday Machine" from Strangelove?

Or possibly even reality? (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1132426...)
I haven't been to a demo day in a while but it's typically been split into an "on the record" group and an "off the record" group. Startups like to share their MRR number because it can help grab the attention of potential investors.
Where I lived it was common before the iPhone for people to go to electronics stores or carrier-agnostic "phone stores" to buy their phones. You could get an unmolested phone on subsidy/contract and everything. This was in Europe though, where cheap prepaid SIMs for young people and MVNOs were already very popular.
How can the article mention the 'third revolution' without describing the first two?

What are they, gunpowder and nuclear weapons? Airpower? Bronze armor? The professional army? IEDs?
I personally think that the syntax is great considering it's being added to an existing language. await/async allows you to opt-in to having your code behave in a synchronous-like manner, when you want it to.

One of the best things about JS/Node is that you can wait on I/O from different sources at the same time and since the async/await syntax is just sugar over Promises, you can do things like:

const [user, notifications, messages] = await Promise.all([
getUser(),
getNotifications(),
getMessages(),
]);

Instead of having to wait on I/O sequentially like:

const user = getUser();
const notifications = getNotifications();
const messages = getMessages();

if awaiting were implicit.
It was poorly done knock-off.
I'm a libertarian who believes that in a modern industrialized world, you can't not have SOME sort of safety net - the days of the yeoman farmer are long gone (subsistence farming isn't possible in the city) - I'd rather it be in the form of a GMI which would enhance personal freedom of choice, over the existing patchwork of expensive, discriminatory programs and wage controls.

Give people money, give them mandatory financial literacy training before they get said money, let them figure out how best to live their lives, remove the minimum wage in the process. I'm also strongly opposed to malum prohibitum laws as well - the government does a poor job of respecting peoples civil liberties out of the misguided concept that any and all evils are preventable - the truth is, sometimes bad things happen, and not every potential bad thing is worth the collateral costs to prevent it.
Do mechanical or electrical engineers do their jobs without access to datasheets or reference tables? In what world is engineering defined on a person's ability to remember facts vs their ability to build things inside of resource constraints and with high levels of tolerance?

>It is a commonplace that the history of civilisation is largely the history of weapons. In particular, the connection between the discovery of gunpowder and the overthrow of feudalism by the bourgeoisie has been pointed out over and over again. And though I have no doubt exceptions can be brought forward, I think the following rule would be found generally true: that ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will tend to be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance. Thus, for example, tanks, battleships and bombing planes are inherently tyrannical weapons, while rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon — so long as there is no answer to it — gives claws to the weak.

>The great age of democracy and of national self-determination was the age of the musket and the rifle. After the invention of the flintlock, and before the invention of the percussion cap, the musket was a fairly efficient weapon, and at the same time so simple that it could be produced almost anywhere. Its combination of qualities made possible the success of the American and French revolutions, and made a popular insurrection a more serious business than it could be in our own day. After the musket came the breech-loading rifle. This was a comparatively complex thing, but it could still be produced in scores of countries, and it was cheap, easily smuggled and economical of ammunition. Even the most backward nation could always get hold of rifles from one source or another, so that Boers, Bulgars, Abyssinians, Moroccans — even Tibetans — could put up a fight for their independence, sometimes with success. But thereafter every development in military technique has favoured the State as against the individual, and the industrialised country as against the backward one. There are fewer and fewer foci of power. Already, in 1939, there were only five states capable of waging war on the grand scale, and now there are only three — ultimately, perhaps, only two.
