The `none` provider works for any servers that has an ssh connection. I use it myself to maintain my server on vultr.com . It has been pretty neat!

> Is anyone researching motors that use elerctric charge instead of magnetism? Couldnt those be cheaper to build and possibly more efficient and powerful?

In general the magnetic permeability of materials is 1-3 orders of magnitude higher than the electrical permittivity. Materials with high permeability are also 2-3 orders of magnitude cheaper than materials with high permittivity. It makes much more sense to make magnetic motors because of those two facts.

However charge-based motors have existed since the mid 1700s[1]. They're exclusively novelties, but they are exceptional novelties indeed. You can even use a kite to power them from atmospheric electricity[2]! That's the same voltage difference that eventually creates lightning, but without a storm the electricity is quite weak and the motor quite inefficient. The voltage is high enough to be unpleasant though.

An easy way to save a life in hot weather
This whole thread is.
Most stores I've seen in Manhattan have them between $2.50 - $3.00 lately. However the fruit vendors on the street have them at $1.50. Usually 2 for $3.00.

But you probably want to use them that day which I see as a feature.
This reminds me of the interactive video to Arcade Fire's The Wilderness Downtown: http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/
Thank you so much! I had stared at a few malloc implementations (both standalone and from a few libcs), and I had finally gotten to the point (after seeing how thouroughly integrated the threading often is, with not just atomic variables and locks but sometimes thread local storage) that I had largely given up on any implementation that even mentioned multithreading as a feature, but I clearly should have kept going: I just managed to get dlmalloc compiled using nothing but mmap, munmap, abort, memcpy, memset, sysconf (which should be fine), and time (which also should be fine). That just did not seem to be plausible with TCMalloc or jemalloc. Again: thanks so much!!
It's certainly a weird process to witness in Germany.

A couple of weeks ago I had a friend over who used my WLAN to eID for some service (i think it was pre-paid CC? Neither of us can't remember at this point) over his android phone using some "AusweisApp2".

He ended up in a video chat with a lady who asked him to show his face/ID and swivel the ID in the light so she could see the reflections of the security features.

I was sitting next to that whole process thinking about how difficult it would be to put on a convincing facemask and create a matching fake ID that would pass a video inspection.

Shouldn't be that difficult, most certainly less difficult than trying to convince a postman in person by showing them a fake ID at an address matching the fake ID.
If we're counting luck, this campaign was a god damn fluke.
Check out the "bug-a-salt" salt gun. With good aim it's more effective and fun than a flyswatter. Absurdly, amazon wouldn't ship to California but you can buy from https://bugasalt.com

When swatting, I've found they can only fly forward and had good success anticipating that movement. Apparently others in this thread can catch them on the fly's initial backwards jump, which I had never noticed.
It seems it's neither - Spotify is thanking you for giving them money by applying Widevine DRM, which Safari doesn't support (because Apple refuses to support DRM library from Google).

You as a user are now just collateral damage from a pissing contest between two corporations and DRM :)
There's a difference between theory and praxis that we need to consider here. Most countries "believe" in espionage; the Russians have always invested in it as a sort of national discipline. Russia 'specializes' in spycraft, you might say.

You nailed it Paul. That campaign really inspired me early on as a developer (and I think a lot of devs in music would say the same) and I've used similar tricks of geo-nostalgia in other projects.

A View from Silicon Valley
You are spot on. There's even a local fast food chain "Giraffa's" that serves that - slow cooked food, then microwaved/heated in shop premises and sold as fastfood.

The typical average Brazilian lunch is loaded with overcooked dishes - read: wasted nutrients, dripping with vegetable oil and sugar (fructose and others), occasionally covered with a couple of lettuce leaves and freshly sliced tomatoes.
Ok. Anything is an exaggeration, but they can definitely get away with insider trading or market manipulation. For example, litecoin rose suspiciously right before Coinbase announced they were letting people buy litecoin.
That phenomenon is known as cogging[1]. Improved motor controls (Direct Torque Control) and motor designs (trapezoidal magnetization) have indeed eliminated it from all but the cheapest designs. Induction motors like those in the Tesla model S and X (but not the upcoming 3) don't have any cogging at all.

Use one of the four TLDs from RFC 2606 that are guaranteed to never be delegated. Picking another random TLD that hasn't been delegated yet (but may be in the future) isn't a good idea.
I’m writing this from one of these museums (The Natural History Museum) after having been in the Science Museum yesterday. They are both well worth a visit and since they are next to each other and both donation-only, I definitely recommend to visit both. This Twitter thread as well, if anything, encourages the same thing: don’t choose between the two, go for both.
The HSTS preload list is global, and is used by what you would recognize to be all major browsers.

This is a good thing, of course. Security should be global, not dependent on what browser you happen to use.
I don't think it's that easy. If the context is making javascript output something different in it's REPL for just "foo" vs "console.log(foo)", there's other pieces you would need.

Like overriding a built-in type and getting function.caller into valueOf(). As far as I can tell, JS doesn't let you just tweak valueOf(), you would have to re-implement all of, for example, the String class.
I know you're not serious but Minecraft is single-threaded. So ... run 56 games at once?
They are, but the way their are (over)cooked may lead to loss of great chunk of nutrients.
That's way too specific.
That explains why a motor uses more electricity than an LED, but not why a server farm should use less energy than lighting a city at night.
Going back to untyped JS of course. It's not about having "the best" platform for types—that's just the point. TypeScript's system is incomplete, but it's plenty good enough to dramatically improve the experience. The tooling is now much more powerful. The type contracts also provide a whole new channel of formal communication between team members, not to mention unknown users if you're developing libraries. And it's just way more fun. It's a rewarding challenge to write the most expressive types that you can for the problem you're solving. But you don't have to. If you want to start by writing data types and then fulfilling them, you can. If you want to start by writing code and then typing it, you can. It's brilliantly designed to fit with all kinds of idiomatic JavaScript. The language server provides fast incremental compilation and integrates easily with all major editors. Structural typing means you can define types in-place and conform to interfaces that haven't been written yet. The type system's features are impressive and growing, including generics (with constraints and defaults), tagged unions, mapped types, guard conditions and flow control analysis.

It's not "the best" of both worlds, but it is both worlds. What other language is as "gelatinous" as JavaScript [0] but still gives you state-of-the-art type inference when you want it? Hack? [1] I don't know, but it's the same value proposition.

To be honest, this sounds like a perfect application for ML. Especially if you look at how people separate their trash. And it might well be how it's actually done (i don't know anything about recycling)

It might be a good idea to separate paper/dry stuff from wet stuff and glass from the start, though. Just the way it's done in many countries.

(I heard that in one of the poorer regions of the city I live in, the trash is thrown into a single "bin" after collection, and possibly separated from there. Don't know if that's true though).
It's really easy to pick up flies with a hose attachment on a vacuum.

Every once in a while we get a number of flies in the house during the summer when the doors and windows are open. They tend to gather in the sides of our windows, looking for a way out. I used to catch them one by one, and then I tried a vacuum. It was easy, once they are aware of the vacuum it's too late to fly away, and they get sucked right up. It's probably not worth while for one or two flies, but if you're going after a few a vacuum can be really effective.
Formula 1 cars use(d?) flywheels, but that's neither "nano" nor easily applicable to cars. But i think I've also seen it used at a subway in Istanbul.

Muscles are also excellent at storing energy in spring-like fibres that stretch/relax. But I can't think of any manufactured materials at that scale.
I definitely do not copy code from Stack Overflow that is more complex than a line or two (and so will be under the deminimus threshold for copyright); are you?
Desktop Safari usage is ~2%[1], so I'd imagine this is an attempt by Spotify to flex some muscle. Since usage is so small, Spotify has the power. For a browser like Chrome, the situation would probably be reversed.

The Week My Husband Left and My House Was Burgled I Began the BRCA1 Work
Yeah, that's awesome, but many of us do test on our local machines where https would just be an extra layer of annoyance and having to use .localhost TLD would be icing on that annoying cake.

Since it appears that .dev is a Google internal TLD, would you consider not forcing that rule outside of Google? Effectively, we're getting all the stick and none of the carrot.

Alternately, announce your plans for .dev so as to bring some transparency to the process OR purchase maybe the .vm TLD and mark it for developer local testing in place of/addition to .localhost.
I honestly have no idea why "home" servers are so bloody loud. My desktop is more powerful than any of the machines at my company and it doesn't sound like a jet turbine--even at full load. And even when our servers aren't fully spun up, the fans are so loud and droning even at lower RPMs!

Is it an issue of "overpowered" fans (for really hot rooms), or is it really just an issue of "cheap as crap" fans by OEMs?
Trump to Let Big Telecom Destroy Small Houston ISPs as It Rebuilds After Harvey
As a web developer, I am sorry to tell you but Safari (and old Android browsers) are becoming the new Internet Explorer. Unsupported new features for long time and buggy behaviour makes developer's life harder, so it's normal those are the first ones to be dropped.

I don't know if this fallacy has a name, but many people have it. In many situations the goal itself must be adapted according to the environment, in this case attempting to build a business to last is the mistake. The smarter way is to not have a company and let others worry about it, or to build a company to grow quickly, so that it can take a newly formed space quickly.
I like Pixels very much, thank you for curating this.
The legal reality of copyright is that the color of the bits matters: unlike with a patent, if you independently somehow manage to come to a similar result and can prove that, you are supposed to be fine (though there was one devastating ruling with respect to photographs that I think most people consider to have been a mistake that may lend some precedent to such an argument, I think you would still have a difficult time pulling it off). This just isn't about the world in which I want to live: it is about the world in which I actually live.
Okay, well, this was a story I was told like 8 years ago when I was back in college. So I'm bound to have mixed up the details. But the event did happen. It passed the unit tests even though he was supposed to manage and free pages.
Browsers are becoming too complex; this causes problems not only with compatibility but also with security. We should strip down the functionality of the browser to the bare essentials, e.g. something like WASM. Everything else can be implemented in the browser's user-space.

This is the result of Apple not implementing Googles DRM solution in their browser. Since DRM is an upstream requirement from the record labels, Spotify is in a tough spot. They could conceivably offer the parts of the library that are not under DRM requirements to users though.
position:relative and percentage values in top combined, for example, are broken - and the devtools are massively behind Chrome. Not to mention the UX that it does not show you the full URL in the address bar.

Guess the only thing keeping people on Safari is that it is deeply integrated into OS X and has battery life advantages over Chrome/FF.
I couldn't disagree with this any stronger.

I think you're misunderstanding how much of a difference there was between the rest of the browsers and IE.

Besides, your claim the 'wins' Safari has had - first browser to implement ES6 in its entirety a year or so back. Chrome still doesn't support features users/clients actually ask for, like CSS Scroll snap points for making carousels http://caniuse.com/#search=scroll-snap-type

If your paper money does not store value directly. Which means you can't eat it or directly build anything useful with it. And your checking account is simply a digital representation of that paper then i would argue that a purely digital currency is simply an evolution of that and not actually massively different from paper. The difference being the removal of the requirement of centralized control.
One of greatest things about the Web is how easy it is to write HTTP clients and servers. I see why HTTPS everywhere would be helpful, but I also think it would be a shame to lose this simplicity. Has there been any thought put toward simpler alternatives to HTTP+TLS?
That characterization doesn't really tell the whole story though. By my reading of this chart[1] altcoins went from ~15% of the total market cap to ~62% before falling to ~52%. That's still a lot more of the value in altcoins than at the beginning of the year.

In my experience J9 needs to be finely tuned to reach maximum performance for a specific use case other than enterprise application throughput. Try using the -Xquickstart flag if you want to improve startup time.
If for some reason I would have gotten such a job, or a similar one working close to Steve Jobs or Bill Gates in the early days, I don't think I would have lasted. Larry, Steve and Bill were all extremely driven and very high-strung guys with nasty habits of treating those around them like shit.

Somewhere along the way I would have gotten chewed out over something I considered either a good-enough solution or an understandable oversight. First time, no problem. High standards, yes sir, right away sir. But the second? And the third? At some point I would have decided that life's too short to be treated like shit by a maniac, and left for some more conventional job.

no video example?
Music piracy groups mostly upload copies they have purchased or otherwise legally gained access to. Their torrents are a public good since they serve as a benevolent institution for those that are very disadvantaged and might not have the money to buy the content otherwise, allowing them to participate in modern culture.

For almost any kind of digital "piracy" you can make arguments that sound very similar to yours, because in the end libraries and piracy do something very similar: both buy content once and redistribute it for free. The only reason we treat libraries different is because of history and because libraries have a bunch of physical restrictions that seem silly in the digital world.
What keeps me on Safari is that it is by far the most resource efficient browser. It keeps CPU and memory usage way way below all other browsers available on the Mac.

In a couple of days Safari will start blocking autoplay videos, which is yet another reason for me to use it as my main browser.
Yes, that same logic can be applied to Preact, inferno, and maybe even Angular2. But those who spread FUD are those who say you shouldn't use React because it has the patent grant attached.
> But you get that ID card using an SSN card.

Not necessarily. Not all states require an SSN in order to issue an ID.

> But think about America right now. Do you honestly think we could get national ID numbers?

Unfortunately (for all the reasons you mentioned and more), we're pretty close, as the REAL ID system is about to take effect.

That's going to be a huge problem for people living in the states that don't issue REAL IDs. It's also going to be a problem for legal immigrants and transgender people in every state.
"Informative"?
Sure, a few years ago the difference between browsers was really quite large. But we're in 2017 and most of the most used browsers are mostly in line with the supported features and expected behaviour of them.

But... safari is now the one that has weird behaviour that does not occur in Firefox, chrome and edge. Just because historically there was a massive split in behaviour doesn't mean that Safari gets off free. It's the one browser I hate testing because there are usually edge case and unexpected behaviour.
My argument is that you can't detect a bubble by the logic "people thinking X has value" - because that's true for a bubble, and for a non-bubble. I don't understand how your response applies to my argument.

I think part of the difficulty is that the copyright clause argument is more nuanced to fully explain. It's easier for rights holders to loudly argue that people are stealing content and ignore the original intent of the law.

This is further complicated by rights holders having enormous amounts of money they can use to influence legislation.

It typically all comes back to the campaign finance reform Lawrence Lessing talks about in Republic Lost. I think Copyright was one of the original issues that lead to his core argument of a corrupting influence on modern US politics. Specifically the issue with the journals was what drove Aaron Swartz to try and export them all (probably to make something like scihub, but he never got there).

This mindset (well, part of it) is what put me off GNOME. They forgot who they were designing for. Parts of the UI look like they were designed for touch, with all the compromises that entails; yet their average user is currently someone who use mouse and keyboard on a desktop.

Being opinionated is fine, and for the most part Apple makes the right calls. But it’s not as simple as dictating “thou shalt...” via the UI and calling it a day, and then flatly refusing when questioned. It’s the UX equivalent of a bad manager who only learned the “be an asshole” from Steve Jobs-style leadership while forgetting all the reasons he could get away with that.
Safari has annoyances, but it is the best performing browser on OSX. I use Chrome for the devtools, but Safari performs better for normal user tasks like video conferencing and web browsing.
