I use it as my default, and I find that at least once a day I ad a g! to my query to go to the google results. I started maybe a month and a half ago and at this point I have a decent instinct as to when I'm going to need to go to google.

The privacy aspect was the driver for me, but it wasn't enough to make the switch all this time. The privacy aspect coupled with an easy way to get google results when I need them is. While I've known they had the bang queries for a long time, it was actually a youtube search result that finally made me shift. I forget what it was, but I was searching for something for my kids and it looked like my activity had polluted the results. That has been a problem for quite some time and this particular instance was enough for me to make the change. It was a harmless, but I really don't like the idea that my activity will potentially bleed into that of my family, and frankly I get irritated when their activity bleeds into mine. DuckDuckGo doesn't replace youtube search, but it was more of the general principal. I tried working with different accounts over the years, but it's not easy to switch on all platforms and if you've ever tried entering a 60 character password on a playstation, you know why that's a non-starter.
Ray Dillinger: If I'd Known What We Were Starting
Yeah that's what I was referring to.

The whole Al Qaida thing is murky with CIA engineering and scapegoating. Maybe I sound like a conspiracy theorist, I don't know. They were a pretty convenient foil for us to invade a whole bunch of countries that we had no business invading.
To put a finer point on his argument; I'm working on an Angular project at the moment. Every time I refresh the page I have to wait 10 seconds before I see any of my changes while Angular compiles everything. I calculated that, given the number of times I have to refresh to test my changes, all of those 10 second compilations is costing my client tens of thousands of dollars every year in wasted productivity. So I can't help but wonder how Angular and their ilk are better?
I never understood this. If you allow roaming VPN sessions what is the difference between a roaming SSH session?

I'd argue they are effectively the same thing with the same auth methods available for both.

Why do you consider VPN to be a better protocol than SSH for security/authentication?
You could have written it in Objective-C.
Damage to rigid pavements occurs more often in climate zones that experience multiple freeze-thaw cycles at the ground surface during a single winter. Many of the populated places in Canada freeze one or two times at the onset of winter, then stay frozen until the thaw, with maybe one more freeze after that.

Southeast Ontario, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc. will re-freeze near the surface dozens of times every winter, and each time, more pavement damage is possible. Halite and other ice-melting chemicals can exacerbate the problem by making the ice in or under different parts of the pavement freeze at different temperatures.

You don't even need to do it properly the first time. You can seal pavements (and the underlying soil) against moisture infiltration at any time. Dropping a layer of asphalt on top is a common way to do this after the initial construction. Many places in the US simply do not bother, because that would cost a lot more up front, and then there would be fewer maintenance contracts to hand out. There's always the possibility that no one will ever complain, and the problem can be ignored forever--that's money that never needs to be budgeted.

If you build a proper foundation for a sidewalk, and then seal it against moisture, it will stay smooth and level for hundreds of freeze-thaw cycles, barring some natural disaster that would let the water underneath it. But if you're only mayor for two years, and the sidewalks last 30, nobody is going to come back to you 20 years after you leave office and pat you on the back for your wise sidewalk decisions. It is more likely that there will be some crisis right before the election and the money that could have solved it already went into great sidewalks. Or even worse, if you're a subdivision developer, you're out of there a year after the last lot gets sold, long before anyone notices how many corners you cut on the sidewalks.

All of this comes back to the prevailing attitudes in the US about who should be responsible for community infrastructure. We often expect private entities to build it, and public entities to maintain it. This screws up all the incentives. The reality is that subdivision developers probably should not exist. The municipality should be performing that function, instead of annexing every ad-hoc, ex-farmland housing development that springs up on the borders. That's how you get straight streets that connect at both ends, and good sidewalks that go everywhere that cars can. And then you can fire the zoning board, because when you build all the streets, you can control all the lot sizes and business parking requirements directly.

I have always found it surprising how easy it is to get access to offices just by tagging along with folks as long as you don't stand out (like being the only person in a conference room at night with two laptops open and a tablet on).
Actually! (Full disclosure: I sell access to a Tahoe-LAFS grid.) The Tahoe team has recently been working to merge the "cloud-backend" branch, which would open the door to storing shares on grids by interfacing directly with S3, GSE, etc. This technology's been battle-tested by Least Authority Enterprises, and at least Matador Cloud has indicated a desire to adopt it as well. Other Tahoe vendors are probably sitting up and taking notice too.
That looks pretty good! It seems like the transformation could be done reasonably quickly, maybe with a two-component texture (not sure how efficient texture sampling in vertex shaders is), in the vertex shader(s) in that Mapbox GL instance right after the basic projection. I might give this a go. It might get a bit weird around the edges though, gotta make sure to have a margin of additional geometry.
Terrible design; $99 pen with no place to stow it.

Apple style price jacking for storage; $1199-128GB, $1399-256GB, $1749-512.

I don't see this hardware line going anywhere either. I won't be surprised if the pen requires charging like Crapple. Samsung has better offering with Plus/Pro at less than half the price.

Why did Google let the guy who rekt Moto run Pixel and Nexus into the ground? This is terrible.

After using iOS11 for a few hours I have to say my favorite new feature is the gigantic “iMessages” header.

The “Contacts” one is pretty good too but the “iMessages” one seems much faster and it consumes far less RAM in some benchmarks I ran.

It’s a real disappointment that they didn’t add a banner in Safari. I generally find myself using Safari and wonder “am I using safari?” I end up having to close my apps and reopen safari to double check.

Update: I am currently using Safari. My heart was racing for a second totally didn’t know what app I was using.
So, same story as Windows?
The voting system is not the problem. The logistics of running a successful campaign are. The amount of advertising, canvassing, fundraising, and other effort that goes into American politics is insane - and unless you have the backing of a party, you are quite literally fighting an uphill battle.

Recall the republican voter list leaks last year. Now, consider how much money it would take to gather that much information, at that level of fidelity. Now, consider how much of an advantage a sanctioned party candidate has, when you run against them.
The first number is the one I want, pretty much 100% of the time, and I hardly ever need 8 digits of precision.
You mark releases as "Stable and supported" and have corporations subscribe against releases. If you are subscribed to a release, you get bug fixes for that release. If someone does not have a subscription to a release, it does not get updated, and if there is no current subscription for that release, you don't accept new ones.

You always allow people to move forward their subscriptions, but never backwards. You provide migration paths for each supported release.

People will pay for it.

The bailout involved completely wiping out the equity of GM. The GM that exists now is a different company:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motors_Liquidation_Company

The bailout can still have been a sweetheart deal for the creditors of the company, but it didn't do the old GM any good.

I tend to think the motivation of the bailout was to reduce disruption in the job market, I don't think there would have been much more than a short term disruption in the OEM business.

I can reinforce that if your information was compromised, more people may be attempting you use this to phish additional people."

ftlio is right, but another reason is Taiwan. Someone can correct me if things have changed - a lot of Taiwanese businnesses have strong links to the mainland in the form of manufacturing facilities, and so on. China encourages these links with one big stipulation: these Taiwanese businesses cannot transfer their funds out of China. Why? China considers Taiwan to be a renegade province that it would like back just like Macau and HK. It will do almost anything to make that a reality i.e. influencing elections, tempting and pressuring the business sector, etc... It's such an emotional issue that I feel even a costly invasion would be on the table if there was enough provocation from pro-independence factions in Taiwan

Please try TypeScript. It's the only tech I will actively promote as 'not a fad' but a very useful thing. So useful, I stopped writing JS the first day I tried TS.

For anyone with a background in classical software, it makes JS 'feel more real'.

I can't imagine writing more than 50 lines of JS anymore.

You don't put a limit on the length of the video: any movie or music video with 2 or more sequential frames of completely synthetic footage disproves your claim.

Do you think composing real footage and generated together doesn't count? What about two generated sources?

> they're mostly footage of real life.

Historically, yes. Modern-day, most blockbusters heavily rely on generated video.

You have made your point abundantly clear; I am trying to show you that your desired state has already happened and you probably didn't notice, and to get you to clarify what it is you're looking for, and why.
This has got to be regional as my kids are in preschool and I've never heard anything remotely close.
This is an interesting topic, at my first job I've developed some tool to help our customer support, it's a topic which is quite interesting for me.

On what data do you train your models? Do you train them individually for each customer with their own data, or do you take the data of all your customers and train "universal" model?

Another question about the broader categories, are they defined by you? I guess you're doing some supervised learning. Is it possible for the customer to add own categories?
You can negatively vote the question, but the question was in earnest, and I'd appreciate an earnest answer of why their partnership and reliance on Yandex is not a privacy concern.
> My claim, backed by science, is that this child was a biological male:

This is actually a nice way to reinforce my prior statement, so thanks. You're claiming someone was "biologically male" but hey that person didn't even express a penis until age 7-12. They're not even really intersex people, it's just the traditional definition of "biologically male" is comically incapable of dealing with this.

What's more, before that change most (there is other documentation of this) of the people you would have lectured about being biologically female felt a very strong affinity to the male identity. By happy coincidence, their hormonal cycle gifted them with anatomy they felt more comfortable with.

> he had male hormones and male chromosomes

Well, he specifically lacked some hormones, but...

Look, trans advocates for the most part don't disagree that a trans man and a person born to the traditional definition of men are exactly the same. They're obviously not precisely the same. What trans people want is an opportunity to be trans people without violence, discrimination, and fearmongering.

Trans activists tend to object to the biological essentialism argument not because it is founded on an observation of scientific facts about DNA (which, btw, a lot of people get wrong). They object to it because it's often used to justify acts of violence or discrimination by appealing to defending a biological norm that needs no guardians.

This sounds identical to the noise over Netbooks a decade ago.

Same reasons apply now as then.

Also “Apptop” is an awful name that screams “I’m a subpar product”, yikes.
I would say just start with the React tutorial and use the react-create-app (uses webpack etc in the background and is a npm package) that they use in it. Then after the tutorial I would go into the docs and read through them and maybe test some.

After that I would pick the state management tool I want. Either Redux or Mobx as both are popular and have their advantages and disadvantages. I think it is worth going through both their official tutorials as they are pretty good.

https://facebook.github.io/react/tutorial/tutorial.html

http://redux.js.org

https://mobx.js.org

There are of course tons of videos but I think the official tutorials are a great start and using react-create-app instead of trying to dig into webpack and all that is really good at the beginning.

That can actually turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy completely independently of any actual change in the structure of the preschool curriculum. In fact, it can (and often does) become a self-fulfiling prophecy with regards to any externally observable characteristic of a person, whether or not that characteristic has any predictive power at all with respect to anything that anyone should actually care about. Skin color is the canonical example.
If you're having trouble integrating a library into your framework, then the library is probably the one that's poorly designed. I say this as the 'maintainer' for ng2-dragula (glue code for dragula), which is equally great and terrible.

Great: the dragula library handles lots of common drag/drop patterns.

Not great: it relies 100% on the jQuery model of 'truth in the DOM', and the glue code makes a feeble attempt at flipping that around. When you drag, it literally moves the element and notifies you that it has done so. If you want to customize it, you reply to callbacks that give you the literal elements, and maybe read a data-attr off them. The glue code can automatically mutate an array to match what happened in the DOM, which has been an unmitigated disaster judging by the hundreds of GitHub issues mostly about this one thing.

The problem isn't the restrictive framework that doesn't let you do what you want, it's the API that's not designed for rendering from a non-DOM data model. If you ask 'would it be easier with vanillaJS?' the answer is no – it would still be a stupid way to write drag and drop code, unless you were coding your vanillaJS in an equally abhorrent way.

In general, the word transgender is used to describe people who internally identify as a gender other than what they were assigned at birth. In this case, the people described in the article grow up to identify as men despite being assigned female at birth.

The definition is admittedly a bit weird when dealing with intersex people, but there you go.
a decent article until it went political at the end - almost as a "BTW..."

It failed to bring most of the wars (or "police actions") into the picture. Maybe because all of the 'major' conflicts prior to desert storm (C/WW1/2/K/V) were headed by the opposite political party than that mentioned. This is not to say other conflicts didn't happen under other parties as they obviously have.

While the reasoning is sound insofar as the 'unmentioned' conflicts were fought primarily by draftees (again - politics?), it really gives no satisfactory reason, only conjecture and opinion (politics) on the current military actions - which SPANS political parties.

Sadly, the introduction of politics into an article initially put forth as something about the "morality or war" says more about the intent of the author than the question the article brings up.

Have you ever been to a sporting event at a major venue that seats 70,000? Roads around such a venue are either jam-packed with traffic that isn't moving, or completely closed by the local authorities to be reserved for emergency traffic. It easily could take 2 hours to bring a car close to a venue after a game, let alone getting back out afterwards.

I recently gave a talk at Chain React in Portland (first ever React Native only conference) where I compared these two nav stacks:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFyaj5HmMEY&t=1059s

The situation with navigation and React Native is a bit of a mess right now.

Basically all navigation stacks can be broken down into two categories, those that are native (i.e built on top of the OS's existing navigation stack) and those that are not (pure javascript, emulates what the native stack does).

Examples of Native navigation stacks:

-> React Native Navigation (wix)

-> Native Navigation (Airbnb)

Examples of Javascript navigation stacks:

-> React Navigation

-> React Native Router Flux

-> React Router Native

An example app I wrote with React Navigation + Redux:

https://github.com/hgale/ReactNavigationDemo

Same app but built with React Native Navigation + redux:

https://github.com/hgale/ReactNativeNavigationDemo

The main differences are that the native nav stacks have better performance, stuff like accessibility works right out of the box and they work the same way that the underlying native system works.

The main downside to using Native navigation stacks right now is that setting then up & upgrading them can be a real pain. It can also require native knowledge when things go wrong.

I would recommend staying with react navigation (Javascript based nav stack) unless you absolutely need some feature from one of these native nav stacks.

It's going to be a lot easier to upgrade and you won't run into issues doing over the air updates with your production apps.

It's also the one that Facebook promotes in their docs:

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigation.html

Right now both React Native Navigation and React Navigation are under heavy development. No matter which one you choose, budget for some pain in the next year when upgrading.

Not sure about the situation in France, but in Germany the diesel/petrol difference is much older than any CO2 concerns.

Here, Diesel is taxed less than petrol, originally as a measure to support agriculture (who traditionally use Diesel engines on the field). There's a slightly higher tax on the car itself with a Diesel engine.

Together this makes Diesel cheaper if you're using your car _a lot_, and so vehicle fleets (corporate, car rental, ...) are all Diesel based.

That's hard to roll back politically (since it's cutting into expensive investments of huge organisations).
Fun fact from the trenches: I tried enrolling online for their post-hack free 1 year identity monitoring offer, but when it came time to verify myself by answering questions they clearly started asking me questions about someone else's profile because none of the questions made any sense. Then when I answered wrong (of course, because I'm not whoever that person is) I was given a phone number to call instead.

Combine that info with https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/08/psa-no-matter-what-you-wri... and it's enough to throw one into paroxysms.

This chaos is maddeningly absurd, and in a just world their business would be completely shut down by the government.

My biggest complaint about Javascript development is the config... OMG the config. So many modules, so many dependencies, so many build steps, so much half-baked documentation, so much assuming that you already know X, Y, and Z.
