Not sure why it matters that it's an open source project homepage? If treated as a webpage in general among all other webpages, the design isn't that special. It's not awful, but pushing a ton of deep blue in your face would not be considered good design by many.

I appreciate the minimalism they're going for, the thick borders and that they aren't afraid of color, but the blue is too much. This trend of one-page fancy-scrolls grew from catering to mobile devices. On average, it seems like their only goal is to avoid bad design on mobile and ignore all other devices. These giant scrolling minimalist pages are often bad design on desktop, mediocre design on tablets and ok design on mobile.

Do not forget that webpages at their core are about information design. I just had to scroll almost 8 pages in order to read a few paragraphs and most of the paragraphs didn't have the information that was interesting to me.

The page that really had the information I wanted was hidden behind a "Contribute" button which makes no sense and you have to scroll all the way back up to the top to get to if you've read down to the bottom.

The style it's going for is fine, but I'm not sold on it being good information design for all devices, if any. :/
I don't think that all that much of Cryptonomicon does. Obviously, half the scenes with Lawrence tend to, but the Imitation Game seemed to do a decent job of portraying someone for whom math was about as important - and the rest of Cryptonomicon is fascinating. World War II! Modern business shenanigans! Family drama! And with Bitcoin and ICOs making headlines in major newspapers, the time has never been better for this.

(Nice username, relevant to the discussion.)
I use 1 second forward skip (and have 4 seconds backwards skip). Makes it easy to skip all the time when I know nothing is gonna happen in the next few seconds.
If you want to target legacy browsers and don't mind download size, it's better to stick with jqueryui if you can. I have used combination of jqueryui and jsplumb to accomplish similar real world web apps. Jqueryui is pretty old school and too heavy(size), but lets you get the job done quickly. It also can expand beyond drag and drop into sortable and provide extensive customisation support via hooks to go beyond the out-of-the-box features. Because it's very mature there are tons of help and practical examples available both in their site and in stack oveflow / jsfiddle.

Meh, iWatch and iMessage are surefire ways to get people to think of the right product. Technically incorrect terms, but they'll get the message right.

Can someone explain the difference between the process / thread architecture of chrome and firefox desktop apps and the implications of this difference? On MacOS Chrome appears as many processes named Chrome helper or something, whereas Firefox appears as a single process with many threads. Given that the two are trying to solve the same problem and are so superficially similar, is the difference in architecture surprising?

I hope this purported initiative will be accessible to all users, not just to those on a whitelist. As it currently stands, I can use a security key as my second factor, but I can also receive a text message, which defeats the whole point of the key. I would love to see an option to not use SMS as my second factor.
Privacy is a tricky thing and a bit of a spectrum.

I will happily give up some information in exchange for a service that I like. I'll happily give Google my search history, including typos in the search bar, in exchange for them tailoring my responses.

Why? The difference in results is huge. I don't need to specific that I'm looking for Linux answers, math functions, or scientific results. Google knows this, it has learned it from the many years of data that I have given them. Searching anonymously makes my search much less productive and less efficient.

At the same time, I don't want Google watching me poop. I'm okay with then knowing some things, but not others. I've been pretty open with Google, knowingly so, just to get these tailored responses and, to me, they are worth it.

There's still lots of things I don't tell Google. There are still lots of companies that don't give me anything I value, so I don't willingly give them information. It's a sliding scale and needs recipricocity from the business entity, I expect a return from my giving up information.

It's also a very individual choice and best decided at the individual level. I give Google info, but I'd never say someone else should have to. I think it possible to optimize for just that.
The url kinda scared me off. I’m at work right now, and that’s not the sort of DNS lookup I want to be doing.
I mean, yeah. And a while ago a president pardoned a guy from the other party that had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping.

I think there's still a stretch from "there are corrupt politicians and the monarchy and president have a lot of undue influence over the judiciary" to "Catalans don't have freedom of expressions or are oppressed".
He's not going to be behind the camera, you realize.
For what it's worth, that was also the 100 year anniversary of the war. The two happened to coincide.

Even in South Carolina where there was so much controversy around having it at the state house...the reason it went up in the first place was supposed to be temporary (4 years) for that purpose alone.

That it never came down when it was supposed to the real issue.
I've always thought about sharding with a caveat of some notion of an implicit index either via timestamps or composite keys.
People who think the whole thing is a travesty (an illegal vote to discuss an illegal subject) are not going to vote, is easy to predict that the “yes” is going to win.
iMessage is a real thing–I'm not sure what you're getting at here.
The Crown of Aragon, which controlled the territories of modern-day Catalonia, was an independent state in all ways aside from military and foreign policy. The union of Castile and Aragon was a dynastic union, with very few shared institutions until the Kingdom of Spain was established in 1716. Aragon itself was a fairly decentralized state with constituent principalities having their own Corts and legal systems (rights referred to as "Furs" or "Fueros")
I'm torn on this, and I think in general your statements make sense.

However, you're also arguing that the South in 1861 should've been allowed to secede, or at least have an unemcumbered plebiscite. Or the Kurds should be allowed to leave Iraq, which may set off regional catastrophe. Is that an accurate reading?

> Catalans also have a different language, a strong sense of being a nation (their "local consitution" says so!), etc..

And none of those things is being repressed, I have to add. As a Catalan friend pointed out, they speak and teach Catalan in schools, have complete freedom to vote on issues of their region, etc. I have to agree with the GP that it's mostly the economy doing a bit better than the other regions, which leads Catalonia to a "why should we have to support these others" mentality.
Except a healthcare activist has poorer options to make a difference at McDonalds...
I'm just speculating with what made you think this:

> What is happening currently shows that the right to free speech is not respected by the Spanish government.

because you didn't explain it.

The Spanish have the assurance, from our Constitution, that the Government won't interfere with concentrations claiming independence, or whatever else. Thus, by your own definition (and mine) we have the right to free speech.
So torn by this.

I've always been a Firefox user and one of my favourite addons is Tab Groups. Unfortunately it will stop working with 57.

I'm really keen to update to 57 but until Tab Groups gets updated I'm going to be sticking to 56.

Please someone take over the dev!
That was certainly true in LA when I lived there. That's been awhile but I suspect it's still true where I lived there, mostly in the SF Valley.

I did recently see a video of two guys biking on trail in Orange County (I think) and it was lined on each side for miles with tents and makeshift shacks. I never saw anything like that when I lived there. It was impressive.

As of Backpage v Dart, the activities on Backpage are presumptively lawful. This isn't to say that every action that occurs on Backpage is above board (just as not every transaction on Facebook is).

That said, the case was premised on a Sheriff making it his mission to shut them down, so it's probably worth finding out what Google did during that time.
Google is cracking down on links in their search results too, using AMP.
iWatch sounds like an app.

It would be less weird to refer the “apple phone”.

The Constitutional Court hasn't ruled out yet. Just suspended it while they deliberate.

That's why most of the actions taken have been ordered by the Attorney General and not a court... Because the ref is not illegal :)

> The Spanish Government does not want the Catalan government to be able to organize people and thus has tried to remove the people's right to communicate with each other about it.

This has very little relation to the actual situation:

- The Catalan government, and anybody really, can organize people and the Central Government can't do anything about it.

- The Central Government, further, has nothing to do with the app that was banned from the Play Store. That's an order from a court in Catalonia.

- The banned app doesn't allow people to communicate with each other.
While I understand the hesitation, the post is certainly SFW.
Sure, it probably is. But if that is the case, the answer is even more straight forward: Separation is okay.
The simple answer is so they're no longer homeless. Less expensive housing already exists in other places. People, for various reasons, choose to remain in Los Angeles.

Lots of thoughtful discussion here. But none of them address the truth of this situation. Boyle Heights is the next target for gentrification and LA’s City Council has demonstrated strong support for property developers (not to mention Mayor Garcetti’s riches sourcing from property development). I’m sure the NIMBY component in this case is contrived as most of the soon-to-be-displaced residents of Boyle Heights are low income and are too busy working multiple jobs to stay afloat in one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods.

Anyway, what’s going to happen in this case is this organization is going to be starved out until some developer steps in to buy the property to put in a new strip mall or stack and pack development as the gentrification plan plays out.

Our scepticism of illusions goes as far back as Plato's cave and underpins the fundamental misgivings we have of Facebook.

I think this 'throws the baby out with the bath-water' and while Zuckerberg is not the best person to rep these ideas, a sane attempt to rehabilitate quite how instrumental Facebook is in how we live has been made here:

https://iainmait.land/posts/20170201-transitional-object.htm...

Basically:

"...we form groups around these shared illusory experiences, which gives them an inherently political basis, distinct from ‘narcissism’ or other rituals that we skeptically associate with illusions. The net effect of these processes is intimately related to contemporary mass movements, many of which Facebook has been at the center of. Both the election of Trump and the subsequent mass protests can be understood in this way."
That's why Spanish Constitutional Court tore down articles of the Catalan Estatut (sort of regional constitution) that are accepted in exactly the same terms for others and are even covered in the Spanish Constitution.

E.g. "Catalonia is a nation". The Spanish Constitution says "Catalonia is a nationality" while the Andalusian Estatuto says "Andalusia is a nation".
I don't.. why does that matter? Do the watch and phone not communicate over Bluetooth?
Well, yes and no - my family owns a car, but my wife drives it most days. We got rid of our second car when we moved within easy bike commuting distance of my job.
I imagine you need the data science to discern semantically relevant from irrelevant signals. How else do you “tell” your model what to look for? You could easily train for an irrelevant but fitting model.
Probably best bet would be to try and hire someone from a prof consulting firm specializing in IT consulting
Or "[Apple logo]Watch", in all their marketing materials. Which seems to have been transcribed as "AppleWatch" in the official closed captioning of the latest Apple keynote.
It certainly doesn't look like a hardware reimplementation, either. It's most likely going to be ARM-based emulation. With the DTV you could at least connect it to external C64 peripherals and do cool things with it.
Why Men Fight (2016)
Baloney.

People who think they should remain part of Spain will go out to vote No because otherwise Yes would win and that would provide a lot of momentum to leave.

Again, this is the sort of argument used by anti-democratic regimes to discredit referendums and elections. "Oh of course Yes won, there is a large silent majority of No voters who feel so strongly about this subject they thought it would be better not to express their vote and prevent a Yes landslide" (said no serious person ever)

where are the synths
The service is iMessage, but the client is "Messages" on both iOS and macOS. The client was previously called "iMessage", leading people to assume that the marque "iMessage" is no longer part of Apple's branding. But no; extensions you install inside Messages are still called "iMessage extensions", and so forth.
The problem is the article terms the rich as getting "85% of the gains" which, while a percentage figure, is not a percentage of their wealth -- it's percent of actual dollar figures. So if we're trying to decide whether or not they disproportionately profited from the rebound, we'd have to figure out how it compared to their losses.
Maybe some grandkids will come into the picture by the time the PRC betrays MariaDB.

> was an independent state in all ways aside from military and foreign policy

It was still an absolute monarchy with the same monarch; it's not like the Aragonese were free to choose their own destiny. Still, the Constitutions Charles promised them to uphold must have given them something, I just don't know what it was. That's why I'd like to know how they compare to the current rights granted by the autonomía.
Just fleshed out the README a little, writing isn't one of my strong points.

Edit: just added a license too.
I wish that I had been confused, it was an appalling thing to find. Basically, it was an interaction between the template system (https://docs.sencha.com/extjs/6.5.0/modern/src/Template.js.h...) and their dynamic class loader (https://docs.sencha.com/extjs/6.5.0/modern/src/Loader.js.htm...). The template system used regexes to look for JS expressions to evaluate inside HTML templates and then tried to figure out how to supply them with values. I had some /very/ complicated templates and IIRC it picked up on some commented out bits and ended up triggering the loader's dependency resolution. Again, I'm not saying it was running like a babel-style parser in the browser - it was just regexing for certain expressions and dynamically loading classes based on the results.
I thought that Crowdstrike's report equated APT28 signatures with GRU, not FSB.

To defend Snowden, I haven't seen overt regime support for Putin besides a softball question being asked during the Russian President's Q&A session two years ago.

Assange's support for the regime's talking points is comically earnest to the point that he has completely given up his credibility.
There are just laws that protect and maintain civil society and there are unjust laws used to oppress minorities.

Who does this referendum hurt? Who is damaged by it? Where is the victim?

Voting is at the heart of democracy, and laws that prohibit a group of people from speaking out violate the spirit of democracy.

When you take it further and try and shut down people even speaking about it you are even further down the authoritarian path.

And do you realize saying "there are more important and mundane issues" is exactly the kind of reasoning actual dictators use to run actual dictatorships. Democracy is obviously important and people care about it as much as mundane issues, which is probably why this is happening.

There are 16 billion per year going from Catalonia to Spain without return.

But not only that, the centralisation of government powers and agencies have created a problem where many big companies have to be in Madrid even if most their operations are in other parts of the country. That makes their taxes to be paid in Madrid instead of e.g. Valencia, Bilbao or Barcelona. The amount of taxes lost because of this is HUGE and much worse than the 16 billion per year above.

An independence would bring back 100% of the former and a good chunk of the latter. Hopefully that would help Catalonia grow at the pace its economy can and then it should be able to contribute back to Europe much more than now.
Contributions have to be sustainable.

No, only the full-sized THEC64 claims a working keyboard. The mini model just has keyboard-looking styling.
My takeaway was that they wanted to show that anything can be made draggable, i.e. isometric blocks created using CSS transforms. The browser actually maps mouse/touch events from the transformed space back to the untransformed cartesian x,y point. In other words, if I scale a 100x100 <div> 3x then hover exactly in the center of it, I'll get 50,50 regardless of the scale/skew/rotation/matrix. This is really useful for collision detection, which they are trying to demo.
The political parties opposed to the “process” (who by the way got a majority of the votes in the last local elections) are telling people not to participate. With the exception of Podemos, or whatever is the name of that coalition, which doesn’t have a clear position.
Yes, this is total clickbait. They debunk the claim right there in the article:

The American Mosquito Control Association says at least 10 studies in the past 15 years have "unanimously denounced" them.

"The fact is that these devices just do not work," the association says.
