It is sad when private organizations take on governmental tasks like infrastructural development because federal and state governance is lacking. It is even more alarming when religious bodies do it and to such a mega scale because their agendas and spheres of influence far exceed that of a business.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride and religion would be severely rationed locally and definitely banned from import in places like Nigeria (and everywhere else, ideally; the post cited has parallels in several places including N. America). People should be free to be choose their spiritual paths (or not at all) but there's such a thing as too much religion.
Yes and no. It uses a native ScrollView, but you don't have direct access to all of the standard UI views like UICollectionView. People use custom reimplementations to get the same capabilities.

Generally won't be 100% accurate to the native versions, but at least it's better than when people were writing cross platform applications in Java with the menubar at the top of the window instead of in the menubar.

Yes, or worse. I'm American. I live in Norway. Most folks I talk to from other countries - not just Europe - find the American health care system to be cruel and too expensive for the common person.

And by the way, I do not buy subsidized insurance. I pay my taxes, and I have health insurance. My taxes pay for health insurance. There is nothing else to pay to get that, other than a small fee for the doctor out of pocket up to a certain amount. No doctor, no medicine = no payment. Other than taxes, assuming I'm working and paying taxes.
I think things are changing. Angular 4 was definitely "compiling" their code, instead of just running it. However, with VueJS growing in popularity, lightweight apps are on the rise again. People are tired of 5-10mb web apps.
That's one thing that really struck me as weird in this article. I'm not living in America but just like I would expect my boss to only contact my parents in an emergency, I would expect my University to only contact my parents in an emergency (and graduation).

I don't know why this is such a shock to everyone. The iPhone 7 Plus 256GB was not much cheaper than $1,000. I guess because most people don't go for that model? Even so I'm not surprised at all.
And yet people keep buying iPhones in the tens of millions every year, so obviously there is something off with that logic.
From the FAQ, https://github.com/yue/help

> But once you have done modifications to Yue's source code, all your code linked with Yue have to be open sourced with MS-RL. The only way to remove this limitation is to subscribe to Yue's paid plan.

> The license seems like a non starter.

> Note that the license of Yue has less restrictions than LGPL, it does not require you to open source your project when you statically link with Yue, or compile Yue's source code as part of your project.

> So if you are fine with LGPL libraries, there is no reason to worry about Yue's license.

> Yue is just another open source project with dual licenses, and it has less restrictions than most dual licenses projects.

With the LGPL you can change the code, compile and dynamically link without releasing your own code. It's a significant difference.
How is it basically the same?

As far as I understood Yue is a GUI toolkit that wraps the platforms' native widgets, whereas Electron is a Node runtime and a Chromium instance (which lets you build GUIs with web technology).
I can only imagine this is borne out of "ways we saw marijuana transported while it was still illegal."
> I wanted to buy a wired Apple keyboard for the same reason, but they no longer sell one without a number pad (which makes the keyboard far too wide)

You can buy the wireless keyboard and plug in a lightning cable all the times. I don't recommend it, but it works just like a wired keyboard.
> Uses native widgets;

> Uses windowless controls on Windows;

Don't these contradict each other? What do you mean under "windowless" and why it is important?

Btw, you can list particular advantages/comparison at least over top 3 popular C++ cross-platform UI toolkits: Qt, wxWidgets, Gtk+/Gtkmm.

Hamas being a notable example, where their non-military wing runs hospitals and schools and the like. It's a large part of the explanation for their support. And if the West had paid attention, we might also have realised that the best way of overcoming groups like Hamas is to strip them of the halo that comes from these services: Improve social services in areas where these kind organisations operate - just like we did in the West - and their recruitment base will diminish.

They won't make it either. Nuclear war is a game ender. Also this has kinda already happened on a tiny scale, namely the British testing of weapons in the Australian Outback in the 50s and 60s. It wasn't very good for the natives:

"He said, 'We thought it was the spirit of our gods rising up to speak with us'," she said.

"[He said] 'then we saw the spirit had made all the kangaroos fall down on the ground as a gift to us of easy hunting so we took those kangaroos and we ate them and people were sick and then the spirit left'."

Mr Morgan is sharing his story, in his words, so it won't ever be forgotten.

"After the explosion the fallout went north," Mr Morgan said.

"Powder, white powder killed a lot of kangaroos [and] spinifex [grass]. Water was on fire, that's what we saw."

Mr Morgan said water "died" but that he and the two men he was with drank the water, even though it was still hot.

"The smoke went into our noses, and other people still have that poison today," he said.

"We all poisoned, in the heart, in the blood and other people that were much closer they didn't live very long, they died, a whole lot of them."

This is probably motivated in part by a desire to prevent legal in-state distribution from being easily parleyed into illegal interstate distribution. They want to be able to keep track of all the vehicles distributing mj. This is easier if they can only drive on roads and are required to have gps.

Since federal regulation of mj is built on the interstate commerce clause, actual interstate commerce is a likely trigger of conflict between the federal government and the California mj industry

If you're going to ask me to do a project that takes n hours, either I'm going to reciprocate and require the same of you, or you're going to pay my consulting rate to do it.

I suspect every good candidate had the same approach. If you're getting people to do this for free, you're not getting very good applicants.

In this market, the people you're interviewing are far more desirable than you are.
That's semantics, because if they deny you the right to use a patent that you need to use React, you effectively cannot use React.
That's why the iPhone is cheaper in Thailand and Korea where the median and mean incomes are lower .... Oh wait, it isn't.
I do. That's why it baffles me. It's so very irrational to me. I don't trust the government to get a lot of things right, but a simple ID system (even when poorly implemented) can't be any worse than SSN as ID.

Lots of significant things use an SSN as a key - medical records, tax information, credit history, financial accounts. An SSN is one of the identifying things that the government definitely has access to. They could easily strong-arm their way around different agencies/companies with an SSN, so protection from government (in my eyes) is a non-argument.

A nationalized ID is supposed to protect us from unscrupulous 3rd parties. If you get someone's name and SSN, you can do a quick public records look up for an address. Confirm it with one company (say a cable co.) and you have unfettered access to that person's life.

I don't think the government could actually do worse than SSN as ID. It's a pseudo-random number with the person's place of birth and time of birth as "seeds". I already assume that Uncle Sam has (or at least access to) troves of data on me. So can they do me a favor and at least give me a half-assed ID system?
The outfitter that I used to work for. I taught whitewater kayaking. Great people, play outside all day, interesting clientele, sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. It never once felt like work. The pay was not good by software industry standards, but it ticked every other box you could imagine for a great place to work.
I like the idea, but something that does concern me is the potential lack of transparency.

While sponsors won't have any control over the projects they are funding, they will have access to a Sponsors-only issue tracker on GitFund with support for upvoting issues — thus gently nudging the maintainers on what they consider to be important.

I wonder if this Sponsors-only issue tracker be visible to the public? Although I suppose you could argue this sort of thing currently happens behind closed doors anyway...
How so? Many other western democracies have a national ID program. What does a national ID program give the government that they don't already have?
Why not? If you want to modify the source, just do it in a manner that you can commit back to the repo.
I don't disagree, but I imagine if you need up-close detail on this sort of thing, you'll likely also need an attorney of your own.

Yeah but if you actually want a powerful machine it's your only option these days. Apple don't sell anything remotely at the level of PC hardware, even if money is no object.

I had many of your concerns early on but having just built an app in react-native, I think those concerns gradually went away. If you're a native developer, it should be relatively easy to get the app to look and feel great.
Network connections can be artificially limited (even to localhost): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/130354/how-do-i-simulate...

To simulate a lower-spec machine, you can just run some resource-hungry processes in the background.

The problem is of course that almost nobody bothers to run these tests unless they already care about performance on low-end devices.

I had a gut reaction to attack that guy but decided to write two other comments first.

About school fees - he's right.

Their schools are bloody expensive in my opinion but not outrageous. They are private schools so it's to be expected. Also other non Christian private universities are priced the same or higher.

About poverty.

I'm not sure how confused the guy is because the cause of the "poverty" is elsewhere - the government.

The rise in the power of churches is arguably because of the widespread poverty.

People react to poverty differently. Some turn to crime, others to politics, police and others to religion.

Barnhart told the student newspaper The Tech that “we received highly credible reports of unsafe and illegal behavior in Senior House.”

Yep. Sounds like every dormitory at any university. All they had to do was look.

This whole thing reads like the playbook of how to use the mechanisms of bureaucracy to build a palatable pretense for unpopular actions.
Usually the thin small ones are removed in the season, and the asphalt ones have signs. This is the same reason the speed bands/rumble strips are concave not bumps.

City plows also have shock absorbers systems that let them ride the bump, but you do get ice pockets after the obstacle.
> not getting healthcare as a 20-something is popular, but incredibly shortsighted.

My idea is that it is not something that you should have to think about. I mean I understand it is a difficult topic because you have these outliers that can totally destroy your life if you have a baby with a malfunctioning heart or whatever but it comes back to the question of what we think is fair. I sincerely believe that healthcare is too expensive. The problem is that nobody who is in a position to cut costs has the incentive to do so.

I mean I hear all these complaints about medicare from providers like oh there are restrictions on what you can bill and what you can't and I am just thinking "good" because otherwise the doctor will put every single patient who comes in with a stomach ache through an MRI without using any of her judgment. I mean it looks badly on her if one out of a thousand patients turns out to have something she didn't catch but it doesn't hurt her at all for all those 999 useless MRI and the cost of those. The hospital is happy because they already have the machine and the technician who is there so is drawing salary so they have an incentive to maximize the use of the machine and the technician.

I am hopeful for medicare for all but we should remember that this is not the end of the problem. There are no silver bullets. As a society, we have to constantly make difficult choices and I for one support "death panels" which to me means that certain cases where the cost is too great AND the outcome is not good enough can and should get denied.

The patent description explicitly states it's about React:

"Although many embodiments are described herein in the context of React, embodiments are not limited to React or to rendering only updated views as determined by React libraries."
Completely agree, and it puts this aspect of the case into an interesting legal realm. There is certainly a question of misuse of protected health information, which can be treated quite harshly by the US government, especially when involving potentially vulnerable populations.

I don't know if this question has been investigated.

It'd be really helpful if there were screenshots of a sample app from each supported platform. Is this wrapping native elements or providing custom elements?

But you're still viewing farming in a vacuum. Whether you're punching the clock for Monsanto or scrabbling to run a private farm, you still need a grocer, a post office, a restaurant, a barber, and so on. A farming community is a whole ecosystem, and rural America makes up about 18% of the country.

One of the reasons America was organized the way it is, as a republic, and not a democracy, was to prevent a tyranny of the majority. And no racial, ideological, or religious minority is as necessary to protect as the minority that feeds all of us.

You're right, farmers can quit any time they like, and many have, and are. It's one of the forces driving the automation of agriculture. But we're not at a point where we can take the farmhand out of the equation safely, so let's give them some incentive to stay. While I agree that planned economies are dumb, because of the simple fact of information density, the government is also a market force, and we need to prevent government from working against the people who feed all of us.
> The trend started by minifiers like UglifyJS and continued by transpilers like Babel will only accelerate.

Not to be pedantic, but are UglifyJS and Babel "frameworks"? Not a Ember user, so maybe Ember has some sort of built-in source code transformer and that's what the author is referring to?

I think the basic idea that JavaScript developers, especially those working in a browser environment, will increasingly write source code that compiles to JavaScript "bytecode" is not a recent idea. A much more nuanced reflection on that idea can be found here: http://composition.al/blog/2017/07/30/what-do-people-mean-wh....

With all the hand-wringing about "JavaScript fatigue", it's a little bit sad that prominent JavaScript developers use titles like "Compilers are the New Frameworks". The tone of this title is the tone of a bell ringing for the next round of JavaScript fad musical chairs.
Is there any open source project where the author retains copyright?

I mean in this case I'd say the copyright is transferred to a nameless entity, e.g. "the Yue project". IIRC any project with a developer agreement (like Google's) include a transferrence of copyright note.
You still have to...

- drive to the government office (cost of transit)

- typically during business hours (non-free for hourly employees)

- provide some backing ID (otherwise, what's to stop somebody claiming to be me/you). That might not be free.

Basically, anything that might disenfranchise a protected class of citizen is going to have a tough time getting bipartisan support. Look no further than state-wide voter ID programs - almost all originate in conservative, GOP-led states - and almost all are thinly veiled attempts to prevent poor and minorities from voting (those two groups are more likely to support Democrats).
