Even in the clothing and textile industry this seems to be true. While different in process from what this startup was working on, advanced CNC knitting machines that can produce an entire garment (think seamless underwear, Nike Flyknit shoes, seamless athletic shirts) have been around and used in mass production for a number of years now. But the notion of customized, individually-fitted garments produced using this type of technology still seems to be quite a ways off even though it's received a lot of hype. Obviously there are logistics challenges, but at least to me as an outsider it seems to be that a big part of the issue is that pattern-making (i.e. the engineering side of clothing design) remains a skilled activity that has not been amenable to full automation.

The trust problem is among the most basic in society, and it seems that today we're faced with competing and to some extent conflicting approaches:

Government restricts the use of official symbols such as seals so that citizens have some token of authenticity they can rely on

Corporations find it easiest to do business by requiring everyone to adhere to a single standard, and leverage a monopoly or strong market positions

Technologists offer blockchain methods as an objective method of establishing authenticity - but consumers are confused by the proliferation

I wonder why they just don't deprecate HHVM altogether and maybe create a HACK version on top of GraalVM. This would probably be way more performant and probably might be better for integration into other systems.

Doesn't Firefox block DRM content by default? If they continue to do so, and if Chrome does so, then this shouldn't have much effect. If most peoples browsers block it, apps shouldn't use it.
"Commandment 5: Map Layout Matters, includes (19). Layout is a bigger issue than this one point from Tufte and it is an issue that is not stressed in map design texts (although I do devote a decent chunk of a chapter in Making Maps to map layout). It is difficult to talk about map layout (or the layout of information graphics in general) in the abstract. But layout strongly effects the look and feel of the map, and can make a map easy or difficult to read and interpret."

Most (all?) states in the US provide free road maps at the welcome centers on major roads entering the state. For many years, the map of the state of Texas had the panhandle, the squarish bit that sticks up to the north, separated and plopped in the middle of where New Mexico should be.

Somebody apparently complained and then the new maps that came out contained the whole of Texas, well connected. As a result, these maps were much, much larger than the previous maps, given that you're kind of limited in the scale of a road map and that they were now including a majority of the states of New Mexico and Oklahoma.

Sometimes the best presentation isn't the best presentation.
Web components don't take care of the full ecosystem that is the front-end and will prove irrelevant to framework churn.

If anything, web components make framework hopping marginally easier resulting in a more likely (marginally) exodus of a framework when something new and shiny comes by.

Front-end framework churn is ultimately a result of the ever-growing Javascript community and its relatively fast-paced development. Because we now treat the front-end as seriously (and formally) as we treat the back-end and server/service stack, we will see the constant invention/innovation/adoption cycle that we see in these aspects of technology.

Framework churn is here to stay until browsers change the way the front-end works altogether.
Yay, glad I could help!
DRM was coming to browsers with or without the W3C’s blessing. In fact, it was already there via plugins and wasn’t going away. This has changed nothing except where the implementation is documented.

The hysteria over this is just ridiculous.

Astronaut. Back when I was at a point to choose a career to get me into space the only choice was "join the military, get flight status, apply to NASA."

SpaceX can launch its own rockets into space, so they could conceivably launch their own crews. Certainly the 'space tourist' business from Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic have employees as 'operators' for the equipment, they just have less capable equipment.

The fact that SpaceX exists and is competing in the crew option means that "Dragon Pilot for SpaceX" can be a thing. Before now, that was just science fiction.

Dear Community,

I am thrilled to introduce an open-source project I am working on - [Dockeron](https://github.com/dockeron/dockeron). It is a cross platform desktop client built on Electron and Vue.js for Docker.

When my girlfriend and I originally started this project, we were planning to created a software which is easy to use for docker container and image management on desktop (Mac, Linux and Windows).

Since we are currently all busy with our daily work and cannot spend very much time on it. We would like to have the help from the community in order to improve this product and make it better.

Here is the link of Dockeron's repository: https://github.com/dockeron/dockeron. Since this is our first front-end project, there might be some bad practices. This is also one reason that we would like to have the help from the community to refactor it.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Many thanks.

Best regards,

> Maybe I'm being unfair, but I just think science should be left to the scientists.

There is a world of difference between science and philosophy of science. Karl Popper wasn't a scientist but that doesn't mean he can't inquire about the philosophy of science. Philosophers in "philosophy of science" aren't doing any science. You do realize that don't you?

In your top-level comment, you crow about how smart philosophers are and now you are just deriding philosophers as incapable of understanding science and basic mathematics?

The Firefox extension "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" by Mozilla has the exact features you mention. I've been using it ever since it was first released as a Firefox Test Pilot add-on and it's great! So awesome to be able to keep things segregated. Combined with the Tree Style Tabs and Tab Groups extensions, it's killer.

That said, Firefox 57 will kill the Tree Style Tabs and Tab Groups extensions, so hoping some browser like Doogie picks up those features and incorporates them into the browser core or at least as extensions.

There will always be drama within Bitcoin since it is money, and there will always be people who want to get their hands on and control that money.

For centuries, banks have partnered with the state to monopolize their rents and profits at the expense of competitors. The ultimate example of this is central banking cartels.

> small group of miners

There is a small group of mining pools that together can block certain upgrades to the system. A couple of those pools combine to more than 50% of the hashpower. But they are pools, and pools are made up of lots of contributing miners, who may leave for another pool at any moment.

> small group of developers that choose what to implement

Relative to the total number of Bitcoin miners, company employees, or wallet users, the number of developers is the smallest group. Developers choose what code they wish to write, unless someone is paying them to write certain things. But developers cannot force anyone to run their code. Hence, the ultimate power of consensus is with the node operators of the system.

But all of this is beside the point that parent comments were making about the danger of centralized bank-like services such as exchanges. The decentralized, trustless nature of Bitcoin is such that you can download the client and verify your funds from the Genesis block until today, without needing to trust anyone.
The Swiss health system is very good in terms of treatment, but the costs are rising every year by 5-6%. It is also a two tier system - everyone must pay for basic health insurance, but supplementary cover is extra and is subject to acceptance. This means that you may not be able to get the latest cancer drugs, latest technology or be treated by the senior doctors unless you have the supplementary cover. I don't offer a better solution; but merely state the facts.

I guess there is no perfect healthcare system, but in my limited experience I am not surprised the Swiss system ended victorious. Having to cater for only 8 million people surely helps them though.

As a final remark - I bumped into another British expat over here a few weeks ago and he was walking on crutches after a hip replacement operation. When I asked him how he thought it would have played out on the NHS, he said he'd still be waiting to see a consultant!

I think that W3C is what makes us believe we're sitting at the table when it comes to decide where the web is heading, when in reality we're not. So while I think W3C has good intentions and is acting in good faith (I'm somewhat undecided on DRM, please convince me of your opinion), I hope for a push to bring the lack of stewardship of the web to public attention, and another standards body (ISO/IEC, IETF, whatever), or W3C under a new statue to emerge and take the role of W3C-as-it-is.

I disagree that version control is inappropriate. I worked for a company whose primary product was tracking government legislation through a database built on Subversion. (acted as a DB but used Subversion for a variety of reasons. I know it sounds strange).

It seemed to work fine to record incremental changes, tag specific revisions as being checkpoints for various stages of review and approvals. And anyone could search current and historical versions.

The overall legislation system needs flexibility to deal with complex and changing workflows, but storing documents (with change over time) and the links between them can be encoded just fine. As long as there are flexible ways to string them together, they can be represented in whatever structure makes sense: final law with all current amendments; original law, with amendments as annotations, separate pieces of legislation, linked by the overall law, etc. None of that has to be encoded in a super-strict heirarchy, but as long as it's all being stored in can be presented however one wants.

I don't see the fatal flaw. I see imperfections and compromises, but not the flaw so bad as to say "don't bother".

I appreciate your language if not your conclusions.

Just to be clear, I have nothing against hunting, only against cruelty.

And in any case, this conversation is not about hunting, but about farming, which is something that is a decidedly human invention, and so an argument towards what is and is not 'natural' is tangential. We have already left nature far behind.

The point was that a BB is not the right tool for a job. Using it because that's "the best you can do" is downright sociopathic. Nobody was making an argument they should use a real gun, or break the law, or compromise their beliefs, or anything of the sort, just that a BB gun is not an appropriate tool for what they wanted to do.
Ideally all content publishers start to really depend on this "feature" and then one or two of the major browser vendors a few years down the line suddenly stop enforcing any restriction the DRM had. Now the publishers have to spend a bunch of money to move back to the plugin style DRM.

I have bad news about 90% of your life.

edit: I figured I'd go back and expand on this, to make it better than a reddit joke comment. These chickens seem like they're moderately well cared for, and are effectively pets - albeit pets that are at risk of being eaten by a possum.

If having chickens is unnecessary, so is having pets of any kind - but we have studies that show this to be a falsehood. You might as well argue that having more than a few sets of clothing is unethical (sweatshops exist), eating off-season fruit is unethical (gasoline doesn't grow in trees), having books is unethical (paper doens't grow on, uh, nevermind), etc.

The author of the original article seems to be somewhat inept as a farmer, but she freely admits this by sharing this story. I don't think she handled this particular situation well, but I'd wager that she learns from this and does better in the future, ethically speaking.
This is a good clarification, but the guy shoudn't be absolved in either case. Here's the description of his duties from their website:

This should enable some entirely new use cases, especially around CI and automation in general.

Per-second billing greatly reduces the overhead to bringing up an instance for a short task then killing it immediately - so I can do that. There's no need to build a buffer layer to add workers to a pool and leave them in the pool, so that you didn't end up paying for 30 hours of instance time to run 30, two-minute tasks within an hour.

You can poke around their github mirror and filter project by language, for example Go[0]. pm, wlan, thinfs, and netstack looks like some decent size components written in Go.

> Local agriculture is one of the most ethical practices around

I've heard arguments to the contrary, based on the efficiency of scale. Basically, it's better for the environment to grow most of your food in one place, and then ship it into a dense city, rather than everyone growing a bit of what they need, and then schlepping around in a car to gather up your other various supplies.

In this specific example, I'd be curious about what sort of carbon footprint is generated by ordering chicken feed, vs. having farm eggs shipped to a local store you can walk to.
Agreed that 'state of the art' is the wrong question - but, it is worth watching David Chalmers challenge progress in philosophy (bear with the first 20 minutes or so - it gets better).

Yes, I'm conflating it because it's the whole package that I'm using. I also think it's highly likely that those are driver and firmware issues. But I'm supposed to work with the whole machine which Lenovo provided me. It won't help me if I have some decent hardware without software.

I don't think the stability issues are general windows 10 issues, I have windows machines which are rock solid (no issues since over years).

The docking station thing however seems to be more of a real hardware issue to me. The display dropouts are so short that it looks like some synchronization loss due to signal integrity problem.
