Facebook have decided they won't support it (Flow is their thing, so that makes sense) but Microsoft has stepped up with some pretty serious support, including good docs for the process of converting a new RN project to TypeScript:

https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-React-Native-Starter

Not sure whether that'd play nicely with Expo without a bunch of extra work. It is quite a bit harder to convert an existing project than to start a new one with TypeScript.
It definitely isn't beyond what normal people can do because I did exactly that (even bought a Harbor Freight hammer drill) and I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this kind of thing.

I ended up mounting it too high though. At the time I was a little afraid of somebody stealing or damaging the camera but now I realize I was being stupid.

The calculations were necessary to determine and illustrate how inaccurate and distorting the original version is. The size of the animals is being used to show sizes of companies, since everyone is generally familiar with the sizes of mosquitoes, geese and elephants. But the difference between a mosquito and a goose is drastic… handily, someone else already did the calculations to show how drastic. So, it is a bad original metaphor and it is misleading.

I was going to suggest that a good author would then to choose an animal about the size of the goose that has the same characteristics as a mosquito, but why? A mosquito is considered annoying, harmful and parasitic – if it was the size of the goose, things to be very different. It would be considered a terrifying predator of the jungle. So I don't see what qualities of a mosquito would make it an appropriate choice, and this is what makes the metaphor worth correcting. It is somewhat of a slur against DDG, more so since the numbers are so dramatically inaccurate.

A good animal choose would be a… duck?
Out of curiosity, how do you know the tires you bought are good? What metrics are you using for analysis?

I primarily buy performance tires and will avoid the hell out of Chinese tires, but I legitimately am curious about what metrics you're using. We all know there are ways to measure dry and wet grip, compliance, cold weather performance, longevity, resistance to drying/cracking/aging, but I'm not really familiar with any studies that try to compare Chinese brands with more traditional brands. I'm sure they're out there, though.
What are the issues with it? Anything other than the size/complexity?

Mine never actually ran out of space, so there shouldn't have been any real maintenance done. The behavior I encountered only started after being up more than a week or so, and its timing was pretty inconsistent. The regular reboot "fixed" whatever the problem was, though.

I took ~200mg, you can buy 200mg capsules on amazon. I haven't noticed any kind of tolerance, although just in case I no longer take it daily, as I do worry about a possible rebound of anxiety.

I've probably taken as much as 600mg in one sitting to no known ill effects. Wikipedia page similarly seems to confirm no known harmful effects from theanine. Also it is present, albeit in smaller quantities, in green and black tea. And the ratio of theanine to caffeine allegedly increases with longer steeps, although I haven't confirmed by checking, oh, what was it, dissociation constants that determine rate of dissolution?

Anyway, CBD edibles/tinctures work as well, although our friendly neighborhood Dr. DEA has listed CBD as schedule 1 (!) so, you know, use at your own risk. I recommend it though.

Unanticipated that Samsung would freakout at a competitor directly from Google itself?

I remember a lot of talk about Samsung's Tizen operating system around then, so the most plausible explanation to me was that Google bought Motorola specifically to keep Samsung inline with a more stock android, end results hold up to that as well.

Of course it's always hard to figure out cause and effect, but Google never even appeared to go all in with Motorola on hardware beyond the initial purchase... smelled like a ploy.
They're all run by spreadsheets more so than intuition. Training is difficult to quantify. How to you quantify into dollars the difference between time, cost and results of training versus time, cost and result of putting out headhunters to fill the position with someone already trained?

I mean most companies can't even interview well and it's a lot easier to just do it the old way that they've been doing it forever rather than stick your neck out and try something new and barely quantifiable if at all. Especially when HR has the final say.
Keep in mind that there people growing up now that will think of bitcoin as having true value. Bitcoin will not be a thing that suddenly appeared in the world as it did for us. So they will be more comfortable using it. They will just think of it as another monetary asset. The boom and bust aspect will slowly disappear. One of the problems with it is the lack of things you can buy with it. As more people get used to it as a currency the more goods that will be available for purchase. Then we'll know what the true exchange value of it will be. Right now the value is basically guessing and it's driven by greed and fear. That will change. Chase's CEO might be right that it's a bubble but that does not mean it does not have value. The reality is that we don't know its value as a monetary unit. It might go to a million or crash to 1. No one knows. As the problems with it get ironed out we'll find out.

People forget that the only reason fiat currency has value is because you can always find someone that will exchange it for goods or services. It has no value on its own. It's a believe in people's mind. Bitcoin will have that same trust in time. One big advantage over fiat is that the community is world wide and it's not locked to one country. I can see a country disappearing from the world but by definition bitcoin is a world monetary unit that's slowly embedding itself into the world psychic.

I truthfully believe that in less than 40 years it will as common as the dollar is now. My only fear is that the world's countries will fear it and outlaw it. That doesn't mean it will go away but might slow it down.

BTW, I was a anti bitcoin guy but after a little analysis I've come around.
Thank you for your interesting and raw thoughts :)

I too agree that the internet should be as free as water. Interestingly, there are movements that attempt to do that, but I think that government and corporation forces are quite good at driving a specific type of usage and penalizing another.

So I think that will continue to be a problem. If enough people wanted to rise up, build their own fiber, run their own mesh network, and or build tools like Tor and TPB to work within the system we have, then the free and open net would win.

Multiple times people have tried to do this, and they have been shut down by force, intimidation, expulsion, imprisonment, confiscation of assets, slander, blacklisting from jobs, you name it.

So to advocate for a free and open net these days is pretty much a social cue that 99.999% of people will say "ehhhh I don't want to associate with that guy."

That's why in 2004, TPB was king. Now in 2017, the internets is all walled gardens and censored platforms. And 99.999% of people are there by choice.

It is a complete and total shame. The herd of lambs carrying each other to slaughter.

GOPATH exists to tell the go tool where to find the libraries that go get installs. You can have multiple GOPATH entries in there if you want to segregate things. It's basically PYTHONPATH with a few extra bits.

One of the reasons is that many of the developers of Go subscribe to a monorepo philosophy. GOPATH enables and encourages that practice.
Serious question:

I have an iPhone 6+ -- and it is 90% great. (some UX choices suck on a bigger device, I cant hit certain buttons when one-handing the device)

I really like the essential....

I hear good things about the Pixels.

I would only up to the iPhone X for water resistence...

They are all nearly $1K

(I worked in Intel's game developer relations lab in the 90s when they were trying to prove that a <$1k computer was even possible (Celeron's with SIMD)...

Now its like a phreaking phone is going to be hitting/pushing the ~$1K mark....

Should I get a new phone, and if so, of those three, which would be best?
just wait til the Apple 3 comes out.
judging by the uptake of new CS grads, they are willing to put in the time and money to train people who are already proven to be in the upper 10% of intelligence.

the problem is, aptitude for technical skills is, to say the least, not uniformly distributed in the population. it's not like factory work. in addition to programming and sysadmin/devops, this includes stuff like CNC and auto technician/mechanics and electricians and plumbers.

if they were to take un-degreed un-proven people and try to train them in tech work, probably 99% of them would drop out.

have you ever seen a college CS weeder course? it's not pretty. imagine that, except with not even the luxury of a college acceptance filter. so why in the world do that, when there's a perfectly good feeder system of experienced proven workers and proven college grads?

The camera I installed uses power delivered over the ethernet cable. I had to buy a little POE switch, but it wasn't expensive.
The current outdoor camera is like the old indoor camera. The new out door camera is like the new indoor camera. In that the new indoor camera is 4k and face detection. So current old door ones are not 4k and no face detection, these new ones outside will be. I have the old ones and if you attempt to zoom in its very blurry. Where is now I'd be able to zoom in full quality and more importantly the news will automatically zoom it and detect if its an unknown face or a known face.
My point is:

How would you react if a regional government (which represent 30-40% of the people there) in your country stops obeying the constitution? Would you not stop the privacy infringement that is using census data ilegally? Would you not protect the 60-70% who didn’t vote the ruling party?

If I understand your question, the answer is that what you describe is basically the same thing currently on Android phones with the Google search widget thing (I think it's called Google Now).

It can perform a search without going to Google's main search page. It may or may not open the results in a browser window, though (I don't know because I don't use it). But regardless, it goes through Google's main search system, much like the proposal you made for Apple.

Whether or not it is accessed through the site directly is kind of irrelevant. It's still accessing the same remote system in the same way. Whatever interface you choose to use is just a user preference, really. You're still submitting a query to the site/service over an internet connection and you are getting the response back with the results.

Does that answer your question? I'm not sure if you were asking if this hypothetical from Apple could avoid using Google or if you were asking something else. Because if you are trying to avoid giving your data to Google, then you should also be concerned with Apple.

> This is a good example of the breakdown of the westphalian concept of nation-state.

Your premise is contradictory. You're claiming that Catalonia trying to form its own nation-state is a proof that the nation-state is breaking down. The exact opposite is the case: the nation-state is so desirable that Catalonia wants to form its own.

I wish Google had just told Samsung they didn't care if they dropped Android back then - not sure what other OS Samsung would have switched to, but if Touchwiz is any indication it probably wouldn't have been very good.

Samsung's hardware today seems better, but for a long time the galaxy phones were cheap plastic builds with unwanted software customization on top. The few Motorola phones that came out during the Google ownership were nice.

If Google had built their own hardware back then (or had even gotten Nokia) I would probably have stayed on Android. For a long time starting around iPhone 5 the Apple hardware was a lot better (prior to that Apple lacked turn by turn navigation and LTE). The Nexus One was nice, but the S wasn't great and the Galaxy Nexus was terrible enough to switch.

Now Apple seems to be winning in security and new hardware features and everything else is fairly comparable.

Thank you for the link. This is a cool service. I think that we make a game of trying to get around the paywall. The WSJ should have the right to get paid for their work if that is their model. The existence of that story and everything around it was not free. It is okay for sites to have a paywall and it is okay for a user to say, well it is not worth it to me to pay and move on. If the stuff on the WSJ is good enough then they will make a business of it and if not they will change or die. This ideal that everything on the internet is free is pretty harmful long term as it devalues the work of those that produce the content.

Content aside. I never saw a blog article, so carefully typeset as this one:

A basic thing to consider about WTFPL is that it's essentially equivalent to public domain, which doesn't exist in some countries, making your software unusable in those countries. Developers seem to love this license because it's cute, short, and uses foul language, but it's a license that no one should use.
Because of the precedent, presumably. If it is not allowed by the Spanish Constitution, what will be the next part of the Constitution that will be ignored?
Nit... Spain's not a republic
"Brutal repression of freedom of speech or demonstrations" "Spain's a stable republic" It's saddens me to see so much ignorance and nonsense. Keeping aside that Spain is a monarchy, in today's Catalonia people have to fight for basic things like the right to educate their children in Spanish, mayors who do not support the referendum are being harrased by the radicals... that is a little example of the "oppresion" you talk about. They have pushed the government to the limit and they have to do something.
Location cues like "near the lake" or "near the train station" or "near the homeless camp" are critical pieces of information for me before I pick a target.
True. In the Midwest I guess we are a little more conservative. I have hit the latest and greatest fatigue and am happy to stabilize on something for day to day work. If I want to try something new, I can start a side project.
Ok, so very painful at scale.
Maybe I switched before they had the dates show up or I never noticed it. The only times I cared about the dates I tried to use the daterange operator in google searches but it uses some weird format, Julian dates I believe, that just made it too hard to be useful.

I still use !g on ddg but its about 1-2 times a month. As another poster said, I tried it a few years ago and had to quit but I tried it again a year ago and haven't switched back since
As much as it's entertaining to see Samsung try to prop up Tizen as a deterrent against Google, it hardly seems ready for mass adoption.
If something about an large, established industry you don't know all that well seems bizarre and counter intuitive and you think you know better, a good first step is to reexamine your assumptions and seek real data.

In this case, you should look into aggregate losses in first and second lien lending to PE-sponsored LBOs over the past couple cycles. It's almost certainly a lot lower than you think.
Incorrect. Microsoft bought Danger and it gave rise to their Kin phone effort. Andy Rubin did start Danger, but he left before the Microsoft acquisition to start Android, which is what Google bought.

Yes, we'd generally want to see evidence of something before talking about whether it exists. The Tea Party unseated incumbent Senators and Congressmen and forced (or enforced) policy changes in the Republican Party. While they have fallen from their 2010 height, they still wield some power, especially in the House via the "Freedom Caucus".

Meanwhile, thus far the "farther-left (and maybe even insurgent) Democratic wing" for all the noise it seems to make has had little effect on the party. They aren't electing people, they aren't even really challenging incumbents very much.

Contrast this to the steady rightward march of the Republicans over the last 30 years: the rise of the Evangelicals in the 70s, Gingrich's 1994 "Republican Revolution", and more recently the Tea Party wave of 2010 and the explosion of an apparent Trump faction. All of these lead to not only actual electoral victories, if not dominance in the Republican Party in some cases, for the more extreme factions, but were coupled with real threats of incumbents who didn't play ball being "primaried" by more extreme challengers.

As I said, it's possible that the surprising performance of Sanders and the popularity of people like Warren may be the beginning of similar change in the Democratic Party, but until that actually happens it's just not comparable to what's happened to the Republicans.

Another "bad Google support on chromebooks" anecdote:

I bought a Chromebook (forget which one) direct from Google. It was DOA, wouldn't even turn on. So I went through the whole return process and a few weeks later I got a replacement (which had some issues of it's own, but that's another story).

After using it for a few days I realized I wasn't happy with it so I decided to return it. No problem, I thought, they have a 30 day return policy.

Except the 30 days started counting from the day my original broken one was shipped. Even though I wasn't in possession of a working device for the vast majority of that time.

I did manage to get someone on the phone but he was inflexible on the written policy and steadfastly refused to escalate the call. After arguing for about an hour I finally gave up.
