You're specifically talking about Google's AMP viewer, and your concerns are UX opinion about their UI which hopefully the AMP team will improve.

The reasoning behind consistency and experience which we talk about in the post are mainly with regards the AMP content itself. Valid AMP content (passing the AMP validator) from different publishers behaves very similar to each other. Meaning you won't have any surprises as the content loads, and it will load very quickly. The experience benefits revolve around the AMP Runtime loading advertisement and embeds on-demand without blocking the main content itself from displaying properly or causing it to re-layout as the user starts reading.
Greater solidarity and freedom – so “No” to a Basic Income [pdf]
CC itself recommends against using these licenses for software. It was designed for things like artwork and literature.
I think you missed the Trig Tablets article earlier this month..
This seems rather racy in Chrome, despite the I/O being deferred to the end :-)

(function() {
var x = '';
setTimeout(function() { setTimeout(function() { x += 'a'; }, 6); }, 4);
setTimeout(function() { setTimeout(function() { x += 'b'; }, 5); }, 5);
setTimeout(function() { console.log(x); }, 50);
})();

It's a fair point that generally I/O is the source of the bulk of the non-determinism in most JS programs. But if that I/O non-determinism is present (as it is in most useful programs), event loops aren't a panacea to avoid peril from it.

Concurrency introduces another source of non-determinism. But just as good programs use care with the ideally limited amount of code responding to events, good concurrent programs use similar care with access to shared state.

I'm unsure if the strawman syntax proposed encourages that care, but it is interesting that it can at least be done without breaking basic safety + performance.
With SharedArrayBuffer on the way, we'll get all the non-determinism of parallel execution peeping through to JS without a particularly JS friendly syntax, so it's at least worth thinking about if something should be added to JS.
AFAIK, that wasn't Ruby's idea.

You've made a very interesting delineation between globalism and workers' rights. I'm guessing that by "workers," you mean "workers who were born in the correct country."

Globalization is great news for many people in the category of "workers," just not those in high-cost-of-living countries.
That would certainly be nice, but from what I've seen there is quite of bit of waste with the funds we do have...

I recently was wondering how much the AVX512 helped. I figured it would be pretty noticeable on FP heavy workloads like say Spec.org's CPU2016. I was pretty surprised that the Xeon 5118 (24c@2.3GHz with 1 AVX512) gets a FP score of 946. The Xeon 6126 (24c@2.6Ghz with 2 AVX512) gets a FP score of 1090. So 13% clock rate gets them a 15% better score. For such FP heavy codes I was pretty shocked a second FP unit only gains them a few %.

Not a particularly impressive improvement since the cost to a dual socket node adds $1,000.
For a statistician, R has a variety of packages that are unavailable in Python. RStudio is a very easy to use cross platform dev environment. With a different R kernel, you can take advantage of multiple cores.
Have a look at job sites to see what a salaried position with your experience would get you. Use that to work out the hourly rate you would be paid and add 25-30% to cover your expenses for the time you spend on admin tasks or tasks that don't bring in any money. Multiply your new hourly rate by how long you think it will take you to complete a task. Over time you'll get better at estimating your time.

If you need to purchase something for the project I generally sell it to the client at cost and work the cost of the purchase into the overall price. Most clients would expect you to add a markup to purchases but they're pleasantly surprised when you don't. You still get your money and you get a happier client in the end. Everybody wins.
> As an Oklahoman, I think it's a little strange when someone at a Canadian university writes an article funded by the Rockefeller Foundation about "failing" Oklahoma, and has written a book called You Dumb [Epithet that applies to me]. I don't see how the tone there is remotely reasonable.

Three points:

One, your argument seems to be with the title and the tone of the author's book. I'm looking purely at the content of the article which seems reasonable to me.

Second, the response of Oklahoma's /governor/ to falling revenues is prayer:
> “Our situation is dire,” Oklahoma finance director Preston Doerflinger said. “To use a pretty harsh word, our revenues are difficult at best. Maybe they fall into the category of somewhat pathetic.”

> Governor Mary Fallin had an answer: prayer. The governor issued an official proclamation making 13 October Oilfield Prayer Day.

Doesn't that seem mind boggling to you? That definitely seems /dumb/ to me.

Third, I don't think that epithet "dumb okie" necessarily applies to you. The author's argument -- without having read the book -- seems to apply to a subset of Oklahoma. For instance the author is clearly sympathetic to the victims of police brutality, the teachers of Oklahoma etc.

> The author explicitly links Oklahoma to Trump by describing it as having the third-largest margin of victory in the presidential election. Hence the red state comment.

That's fair. Sidepoint: how do you feel about Pruitt at EPA?

It's complicated in a global economy. Our companies are competing against massive corporations in China, India, Russia, not just against each other. It makes sense for local things like telcos, but less so across the board.
The parts in my designs are fairly simple and mathematical (rectangles with holes like Lego Technic), which makes them good candidates for OpenSCAD. My product designs, though, are first made by hand in a playing-with-Lego-like way (3D printing parts made in OpenSCAD as needed). Beyond that, I like having the precision of source code for my designs. Like source code, I can easily check them into source control and track changes over time.

Step 4: Profit!
Should we restrict human expansion and destruction of coastal wetlands? Is it smart to live in a place where flooding is the norm, and it's costs must continually be subsidized by local, state and federal government? Is it fair to spend federal dollars necessary to rebuild Houston?

These are interesting questions - but the fact is that 20-50 inches of rain fell along the Texas coast the past 4 days. No amount of eco circle jerk or voting is ever going to prevent a disaster like this. Even the article says the amount of water shed run off affected by expansion is a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount of rainfall Harvey will produce. This did not just affect Houston either - but multiple counties along the Texas coast all the way to Louisiana.

Should we not rebuild San Francisco when the next big earthquake hits? Should we not rebuild New Jersey or New Orleans when they get hit by another hurricane? Where do we draw the line on rebuilding large cities after natural disasters?

I don't have good answers here - we are all still trying to recover in Houston at this point. Like Angersock said, the sooner we recover the better for people like QAPereo. We are pioneers in Houston - space, heart surgery, oil and gas to name a few - why not rebuild?
OK now how much of my money would you like me to pay to you to make sure that you are fine?
On 9/21/01 (yes, 10 days after), there were a big chemical incident in Toulouse, France (one of Airbus Headquarter).

The AZF plant exploded [0], blasting windows on thousand meters radius, killing directly 17 persons and wounded thousands.

I was at the other side of the town (not as big as Houston) and wall trembled. A friend of mine who lived about 50 miles away had her windows vibrate.

It was a terrible thing. But less than half a miles were the SNPE (National Powder and Explosive Company) and it could have turned in a major blast with thousand of death by the explosion and leak of mustard gas that were also stocked there.

The question was, and still is in my opinion : why on earth do you build chemicals plant that have a risk to explode near habitations ?!! (Or in reverse why authorize building habitations near Seveso 2 plant ?)

One other thing to consider, the SharedArrayBuffer can only carry limited data types, it's not a shared object. I used Flash's SharedArrayBuffer and found it was very limited in what you could use it for.
Probably because that's how the vendors distribute their proprietary drivers.
Based on what they said, it sounds like they store personal info on behalf of their business clients, but don't look at it themselves. Their point is that this law still requires them to implement the granularity to delete individual records so their clients can be compliant.

(I don't think it absolves them of any responsibility to implement privacy measures, but it does at least make sense.)
Yes let's blame the floods on lack of zoning regulations. Not a hurricane. Houston is too affordable, needs to be gentrified and regulated so no one can afford to live there like San Francisco.
Which has nothing to say about whether it's a good idea.
I really hope this approach is acceptable to the EU authorities.

Wayland was started the same year that Android shipped and Wayland didn't have it's first release until 4 years later. That's obviously way too late for Android to have used it or collaborated on it.

> but the fact that they didn't want to work on big problem that benefits Linux as a whole (replacing X11), but made something that benefits only them, and that created a huge and damaging rift. That they can be blamed for.

At the time nobody wanted a replacement to X11. That was a big complaint against Wayland, too.

Getting into mailing list wars and trying to make everyone happy ensures you end up like Nokia - too late to matter and with no more money. That's not helpful to anyone.

Also please explain how Google created a "huge and damaging rift"? What damage resulted from this at all?
There totally is a market for it. Sauce Labs makes $25MM/year doing it. One way to secure the service is by using pristine virtual machines for each session and discarding them afterwards.
It's completely inappropriate to limit talk of global warming when a hurricane just hit.

Now is the time to make sure people understand that this is due to global warming.
Thanks. I will adjust my understanding of this point.

Perhaps the issue isn't the granularity of a single dimensional rating scale, but the lack of expressive options when in reality your feeling about something is complex and multifaceted.

I've been really interested in the idea of emotive reviews as an alternative to single dimensional scores. The best idea I have at the moment is something akin to emoji reactions like you see on GitHub issues, finding a way to encode some feelings relevant to product reviews in a mechanism like that seems really intriguing to me.
And that's exactly what won't work; there isn't a single set of decision criteria that can replace consensus and reason. People aren't algorithms, you can't simplify their values and judgement into decision criteria. It doesn't work for morals and it doesn't work for law.

The attempt to limit rights to categories like positive, negative, or natural is a pointless semantic debate that doesn't actually matter because law doesn't work that way, it works by consensus, which is messy and not always rational out of context of the history of the times they came to be. Quite simply, it's naive.

Something is a right if enough people say it is, period. No other criteria matters, never has, and never will. You either understand this, or you don't and engage is pointless debates telling people they can't use a particular word because you're too dumb to realize they're discussing a concept that exists independently of the word "right" and your attempt to forbid them from using the word "right" to represent that concept isn't going to change the concept they're discussing.

As soon as you say what rights ought to be, you've just excluded yourself from the discussion and started a semantic debate. There is no "ought", there is simply that which enough people agree to.

bionic is largely just a subset of glibc. There's not really any idiosyncrasies to workaround going from bionic to glibc (the hard part is the reverse as people commonly use non-portable glibc extensions)

libhybris is more things like converting Surfaceflinger calls into Wayland ones. Looks like there's some media, camera, and input stuff, too, which is all outside the realm of bionic/glibc.

You may be correct about the subsidies. I don't know enough about it. What I do know is a 1-3% increase in insurance premiums wouldn't have changed the behavior of home buyers here. All along I thought my house was in a 100 year flood plain (plane?). This week I found out it's not even in a 500 year flood plain.
The article is now back up and updated:

> The most likely outcome is that, anytime between now and the next few days, the low-temperature peroxide in unrefrigerated trailers will degrade and catch fire.

> Any fire will probably resemble a large gasoline fire. The fire will be explosive and intense. Smoke will be released into the atmosphere and dissipate.

It's not clear to me if an explosion is expected or just for it to "catch fire".
Here's what's fun about it - it's literally just a random box of interesting candy that shows up at the door like a little surprise. I love little surprises. Shit, I love when I order something on Amazon, even if it's boring, and getting the package delivered. This is 100x more exciting than that!

Well I disagree. The background music on transitional slides can be removed. The rethorical questions ("let's pretend we do not know about digital audio") are just time fillers. Waving the hands toward an inscrustation looks as silly as the meteo girls "playing with flies in front of a green screen" on all TVs worldwide.

It is the same with most "well-written" articles in newspapers nowadays. We do not even feel it but its just canned food, a lot of jelly and chemical taste enhancer but the amount of real meat inside is near zero.
I don't know why this is getting a press release (beyond presumably the Milner support). FRBs are mysterious and cool, but this one was already localized and was already known to repeat. The higher-frequency detection is not too exciting. This isn't even a paper, just an "ATel"--roughly the scientific equivalent of a blog post.

In this case, it wouldn't really be in Apple's interest to say we should treat them as just individual people who happen to work together. They're only getting a custom property-tax abatement deal because they're a large and important corporation that's treated differently than regular people are. If a bunch of separate individuals had bought parts of this land and each ran small-scale businesses on it, they'd be paying regular property-tax rates, and no state legislator would be rushing to grant them a special carve-out.

Hurricanes don't affect the Netherlands. No amount of planning can prevent devastation from a storm that drops three feet of water in your front yard.

You seem uniformed about what is going on here. This hurricane was bigger than Rita, Katrina, Sandy - and those were real beasts. Maybe you are uninformed because national news coverage of this storm is limited compared to others like it - there have been few deaths because as Texans we have done a damn good job dealing with it so far.

You can but our backplane won't know about you local modifications. When you're client informs the backplane (on a sync) it will see that those IDs and hashes we're registered and it will instruct you client to delete them.

Maybe because we already understand most of the physics required for space flight and the boring conclusion is that huge arrays of lasers are the most feasible way to accelerate an object to a fraction of light speed.

Hardware becoming Android only. See https://lwn.net/Articles/504865/

A major part of that problem is that rift that created incompatibility and prevented reusing of the existing progress. That was the whole reason for making libhybris, to unblock that issue.
Yes pouring concrete damn near anywhere along the gulf coast is destroying a wetland area. You caught us red handed. Guess how much difference it would have made if the Houston area didn't have a single cubic yard of concrete. We got a fuck ton of rain. Who the fuck are these people?

Developers "run rampant"? Really let's have an in depth look at how our understanding of storm water dentition and runoff has evolved over the past 50 years of explosive growth here. Let's analyze building codes and how they've evolved here. Nah, let's just use this as a stick to beat our pet issue with.

We've had three 500 floods in 12 years.

Seriously. Fuck off. Everybody wants to project their pet issue onto us. These people don't care what's actually going on here, what our actually challenges are and what we've been trying to do about it for the past 50 fucking years.
The real problem is the "why" which, whether people admit it or not, is because Google is blackmailing publishers to follow their rules else be punished in search results. The whole modern web is basically defined by trying to conform to what Google wants.

The event loop mechanism in JavaScript is not well suited to designing OR executing a computation concurrently. Try replacing a for loop in numeric code with anything that allows for events to be handled. It's extremely awkward.
