If it's Nespresso (or a compatible system) that you were shown an ad for, the "unrecyclable" line that seems to often get repeated is actually false.

The pods _are_ recyclable, but whether they actually _get_ recycled is a legitimate concern. In Switzerland and Germany, currently about 50% of used pods are recycled, and this is growing rapidly.

Additionally, Nestle claims that the proportion of recycled aluminium (from all sources, not just used pods) in all manufactured pods now approaches 80%.

> push the visionary envelope

I smiled at that because "we push the visionary envelope" is destined to be someone's vapid b2b marketing tagline but then realised its been done:

Americus F. Callahan of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States, received the first patent for a windowed envelope on 10 June 1902. Originally called the "outlook envelop", the patent initially anticipated using thin rice paper as the transparent material forming the window, though this material has since been replaced by clear plastics. The design has otherwise remained nearly unchanged.

We have a Tide account, alongside a more conventional business bank account with a high street bank.

Tide is not without its issues. For example, there's no way to accept payment from a non-UK account (no IBAN, BIC, SWIFT). It's also tied to a single person's mobile phone (even log-in to the web banking requires that one person's phone), even though we're a limited company, making it somewhat awkward for book-keeping purposes.

The traditional banks are far from perfect but Tide is not right for every business just yet.

> A good contract, in my opinion, would stipulate that the landlord loses the rent on a pro rated basis till they fix the place up.

So something like:

> ...if a rental premises is “totally unusable” due to an external disaster then either the landlord or tenant can terminate the lease through written notice. But if the property is “partially unusable” because of a disaster, a tenant may only get a reduction in rent determined by a county or district court.

...? Because that's the current situation under the Texas property code according to the article.

Where it will get tricky is the legal distinctions of what usable means in this context. An apartment that is fine but has no working plumbing or power? A house that's fine except for the floors and carpets? Are the tenants storing things there? Can the property owner exercise their ownership rights by having parties or renting the place to the red cross or by kicking off a renovation?

These issues impact both sides of the agreement... Paying money secures rights for tenants/leasers. For every sad story about someone who can't pay their rent right now I bet we could put together bad legislation to make a hundred sad stories about people who lost their rentals and property because of market conditions favored them being kicked out during a flooding episode.

I wish people stopped using the term fascist. It's been abused and overused to the point of becoming meaningless. An upsetting instance of usage of this term, for me, was when it was applied to the anti-government protesters in Ukraine by the pro-Russians. Let's just agree to restrict this term to the supporters of Mussolini and the similar movements in spirit around WWII.

If you really want to apply this term to somebody today, and if you want me to take you seriously, you can't just throw it around casually, but you have to carefully justify your usage by providing historical information. And here honesty should force you to point out not only the similarities, but also the differences.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Project Treble is the real deal and would actually make it possible for a "generic AOSP image" to be installed on virtually any mobile device that came with Android. That's the dream, isn't it?

But I think we've been burned too many times by Google's promises to "make it easier" for OEMs to update devices and other such promises, or at least these projects always sounded much better than they turned out to be. Hopefully this time it is different.

I would be curious to know when Project Treble started. I imagine something like this, and if it was serious enough, would take 3-4 years of development and thought put into it? If it's less than two years then I would probably be worried about just how much thought and development Google put into it. I would also be disappointed that Google only started taking such a project seriously two years ago - or seven years after Android officially launched. Some could say this "feature" should have been enabled from day one.

I wrote a bit about an approach I'm using, A Touch Of Make (ATOM), which helps provide better developer UX across teams - particularly ones working on microservices.

https://www.alexhudson.com/2017/04/26/articulating-atom-appr...

You're right, replacing "npm build" with "make build" doesn't win you anything. But that's only true on the small scale. In a service world, there are lots of projects, each with different requirements. Some will have front-end, some won't. Others will require a totally different build process. There will probably be different languages involved.

Using make, you can standardise a lot of this. If you set up a coding standard that after you clone a repo, "make dep" should grab anything the project requires, then developers don't initially need to know whether that's calling out to npm or composer or pip or whatever - it's just "working".

This is a much bigger win when you have a number of projects. The process is standardised, so developers know it's only a two or three step build (or whatever you've setup). They know how to do it, and when they need to look under the covers, they can see how it works, and this knowledge is transferable from one project to another because Make is universal.

I don't advocate doing big Makefiles - that's why I call this approach ATOM; only use a touch of Make. But used judiciously, it smooths out projects very nicely. Not everyone needs that, though.

if I need to calculate something I'll pull up a console and go into a repl and just ask php or ruby to calculate it for me

I'm guessing you don't spend 100% of your time in front of a computer, and even if you do, in the time it takes you to do that, someone who can actually do mental arithmetic will have approximately calculated that problem and several more, because they can stay in the "flow" of thinking about the bigger problem. As someone who can, it's astounding how many developers out there can't --- pulling out the calculator for computations as simple as 12+51 or 6x128.

It reminds me of the "developers don't need to learn how to type quickly" argument --- yes, you can be productive without, but you'll quickly find yourself to be in a handicap in contrast to others who can write, rewrite, and mentally estimate and compute the results in their head several times faster, saving much time in compiling/running/debugging/etc.
PPTP is obsolete and fundamentally insecure. And that isn't news but known at least since 1998 (!): https://www.schneier.com/academic/pptp/

It is unlikely that it would be blocked in China since eavesdropping is easily possible.

(Vanilla) OpenVPN is blocked in China, likewise is IPsec and L2TP. SSTP can also easily be detected via Active Probing but I'm not sure if the GFW currently does that.
PS, your comment sounded quite negative/exploiting, probably that's why the downvotes.

How is that "exploitive"? When I'm contracting I always get paid 10 -30% more than I could get as an FTE all in - even if I include the cost of benefits, paid time off, the gap between employment, etc.

When they want me to work more than 40 hours a week, they pay me for more than 40 hours a week.

Companies don't hire contractors over FTEs as software developers to save money per hour worked. They hire them because they need to ramp up development fast and need the flexibility of reducing head count fast. The only difference between an FTE and a contractor in today's economy is that the company is honest about your expendability. As a contractor, you should charge a premium.

The summary from page 9 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/android-8-0-oreo-tho...

The Good

Project Treble isn't a silver bullet for Android's update problems, but it's the first time in a long time Google has changed Android to make system update development easier.

I love the smaller "by the way" notification section. It really cleans up the notification panel, while still letting the user read less-important notifications at their leisure. I just wish I could demote any app to "less important," regardless of what version of Android it targets.

The automatically-colored media notifications look amazing! Sometimes I cycle through songs with the notification panel just to see what it comes up with.

The background processing lockdown has been a long time coming. Finally, we'll see the end of wakelocks.

Picture-in-picture on a phone is great for videos, and Google's experiments with things like Google Maps look very promising.

EmojiCompat and downloadable fonts means Android users should get new emojis super fast. You don't even need Android O for this to work—it will work on Android 4.4 and up!

The Bad

Google's revamp of notification controls has the side effect of removing fine-grained notification controls for most apps. We'll have to wait for every app to upgrade to get the controls back.

The ambient notification display gets a huge downgrade, changing from showing the full notification panel to only showing tiny status bar icons.

Snoozing notifications could be a great feature, but the timing options are so limited that it's useless. A max of one hour? Seriously? Give me a time picker.

The disabling of Chrome's picture-in-picture support specifically for youtube.com is downright sleazy. That's not how Web browsers are supposed to act.

The Ugly

Updates—they're still a huge problem. Here's hoping Treble actually helps.
A toy calculator? :p
Checksums on modified pages should only be computed immediately prior to transferring pages to disk. DIRECT_IO makes that transfer point explicit so you can compute the checksum exactly once per transfer regardless of the number of page modifications. If you use the kernel cache like PostgreSQL, you must apply the checksum pessimistically because you don't know when the page will _actually_ be written back to disk by the kernel in-between page modifications.

Computing page checksums burns quite a bit of memory bandwidth, and memory bandwidth is a major resource bottleneck in modern databases. In the DIRECT_IO case, the checksum memory bandwidth should be the same as your storage bandwidth; pessimistic checksumming without DIRECT_IO can burn memory bandwidth that significantly exceeds the storage bandwidth.

Particularly in cases where you have modern, high-performance storage devices, like PCIe connected flash arrays, you can't afford to burn memory bandwidth on checksumming beyond the minimum technically required.

"What you need instead is a single universal function that does in fact accept a boatload of parameters, but that is never meant to be called directly. You then supplement it with a host of simpler one-liners that fill in most of the parameters with defaults and forward just the select few."

Or if you have a language that can have supply defaults for parameters set them to the default case?

> Except at some point you will need setModel() to fail for some arguments, e.g. setModel('Trabant'), and you will end up with some methods returning $this and some not. This is not going to be a "clean code" by any measure.

Thankfully PHP now supports exceptions, which all chain method APIs have used exclusively used. It would be hell if they a mixed value consisting of true in case everything is ok or any other type (including strings, ints and custom objects) depending on the return code. If you used such an API, you would have spaghetti code because every other line would be if ($err !== true) { handleErr }

It is just much easier to have a try and catch block and use multiple catch and try blocks if you need more fine grand controller where the error occoried and the exception does not contain that detail.

So in a way, chained method should always garantuee to return itself or throw an appropriate error.

I'm wondering, what is the police upset about, an admission of guilt?

This is clearly just a bad joke, but apparently a bad enough joke to get you fired. I don't know the full circumstances, but if the previous conduct of this policeman was good, and he didn't have a history of bad behavior, firing seems excessive. I am sympathetic to the level of stress the police is subject to, and sometimes humor is good coping mechanism. In this case it backfired.
This article makes Musk out to be the protagonist, when really his statements in this case were a response to Putin saying "Whoever leads AI will rule the world".

>Because Bitcoin and ICO are the main mechanism to get money out of China

No bitcoin and ICO's are a mechanism to get money out of China. Shady HK pawn shops, "family" vacations with strangers (the limit on money moved is per person) and straight up smuggling in bodily crevices are still far more popular. Right now China makes more on bitcoin than it loses because 70% of mining happens in China. So long as this remains true China will not ban bitcoin. Everything else is just noise and FUD.

They aren't pre-tax, which is a major reason I work from home - when I took my current job I refused to work in their office as it would be £2500 a year, which means I'd have to earn about £6500 more just to pay for the commute, add the extra 2 unpaid hours a day and the commute would mean I'd want an extra £20k pre-tax (that's £100 post-tax per week for the time, or £10 an hour)

My effective marginal tax rate because of this (income between £50k and £60k) is 60% -- 40% income, 2% NI, 18% reduction in child benefits. The company has to pay employer NI too. That means for every £1138 they spend on a payrise for me, I get £400.

While my income is in the top 10%, our household income is pretty average for people with 2 children because my wife only works on occasional freelancing projects to keep fingers in the pie (say 10 days a year), and I work from home the majority of the time - we don't want to outsource the upbringing of children. If we do pay for child minding, it's an inlaw, which means petrol costs and a bottle of wine - which all comes out post-tax, so doubles in price compared to sending kids to a factory tax free (or "childcare").
