I think a major issue is what happens if Google locks your account for some reason. There have been instances in the past where Google has locked the account of a user for some TOS violations.

Given that Google has a propensity to lock you out of your account completely if they suspect you violating TOS on any of their services, I would be very wary of this device. Do you want this computer and anything you created with it inaccessible because Google didn't like a video or blog post you made?
> Misaligned characters: Due to many monospace fonts not being strictly monospace for some Unicode characters, this could lead to situations like the one seen on the right-side of the image below: (image)

What are they referring to? I've been staring at the pic for nearly a minute and can't see anything misaligned.
Same. I tried doing development on the Chromebook I'd bought for my wife because a client needed a ChromeOS-specific extension. The process was painful; you had to boot into a separate mode to use things like a text editor to write js and it booted out of that mode every time it woke back up (or maybe my wife just kept resetting it so she could actually get her work done). I'd be happy to have one for development, but based on the apps listed under Productivity, it feels like it's still the same set up.
Location history is opt-in as well although the assistant will push you to turn it on during setup.
If believe if you run GalliumOS vs Crouton it doesnt do that.
There might be something wrong with your Pixel. I use a fairly inexpensive set of Jabra headphones connected via Bluetooth to an old iPhone 5C that I use as an iPod and it has worked flawlessly for many years now.
By startup do you mean the initial loading of VSCode or the cost of switching project contexts within VSCode?

I wonder if you can just pre-load Code and hide it in some manner plus use CLI commands to open new folders/files within the existing VSCode instance rather than a new one?

I do agree, though. VSCode has so many benefits but every so often I hit an irregular usage where I'm opening lots of various stuff and its a bit slow.
Sorry to be that guy but a lot of what we've come to know as OO is more directly descended from Simula because that was a big inspiration for Bjarne.

As such, C++, Java and C#, which constitute a significant chunk of OO programming, are probably better thought of as descended from Simula (and C).

There's a clearer lineage to the likes of Ruby and Objective-C, and to a lesser extent Javascript and Python.

I would definitely concur regarding looking into it, it definitely makes you think about things in a different way.

Whether or not it makes one a better programmer, I can't say. I only programmed professionally in it for a relatively brief time and it was a hugely frustrating experience. I was glad to get out of it.

In the sense that it made me understand that a programming environment has a big influence on how well a codebase can scale then, yes, I learnt loads. But that was because it really wasn't very good at scaling without an awful lot of TLC. I moved onto a Java application which was bliss by comparison (ironically, given its reputation for classpath hell etc).

This was some years ago mind so the state of the art of Smalltalk has, I'm sure, moved on.
For example, you can use linter in terminal which makes click on output messages interactive -> going directly to source code.

Usually whenever a mass shooting occurs the media eventually reports on whether the firearms used were acquired legally or not. In the vast majority of cases I can recall, they were.

It's uncertain whether this tells us anything useful, though, because the important question is would the killer still have acquired the weapons even if guns were illegal, i.e. given this particular killer, would he have been willing & able to break the law and acquire black market guns even if they were not legal. This is a counterfactual that's different to answer, because the fact is that guns are legal in the U.S. There's evidence on both sides - on one hand, murder is illegal everywhere and so there's ample evidence that the killer is willing to break laws, on the other, countries that have outlawed guns have reported significantly fewer incidents of mass shootings. (Not necessarily fewer instances of terrorism, though; domestic terrorists there end up using Semtex, nerve gas, or homemade claymore mines instead.)
The Moto X4 won’t get Android Preview Releases, and is therefore useless for developers.

I’m a student, but I also develop apps. Even with the emulator, there are still bugs you can only find on real devices.

So now every time a new Android version comes out, I’ll either end up with a month where my apps are broken and I’m slowly working on fixing them (so ~10% of the time the app is unusable), or I have to shell out north of $900 just to get the cheapest still supported Pixel in Germany.
Absolutely 100% get the CPAP machine and give it a few months. I didn't immediately feel better after using the machine, but I'm about one year in at this point and it was life changing for me.
All of the people who published anti-climate-change studies on behalf of the oil industry also had credentials. Even people with credentials can succumb to temptation.

And I didn't say that this piece was commission by the NRA. I said that it would not surprise me to learn that it was. I'm advancing that as one hypothesis to explain the very strange too-good-to-be-true correspondence between the author's rhetoric and the classic tropes and talking points of the NRA. That might all be a coincidence, and it might be that all of the oversights and faulty reasoning are really Leah Libresco's work alone. But that would imply that Leah Libresco is incredibly stupid and a really bad statistician, and that seems unlikely to me.

You're not the first person I've seen suggest that this condition is worth flagging, but I don't completely understand why. People who conform to such a style then go on to add a "default" case that is a no-op, which I guess is more explicit, but also feels a little tedious and verbose. Switch statements in C can do all sorts of funky things (vide: Duff's device) so I think omitting a case label for an enum value feels like a much lesser crime. What if you just don't have meaningful things to do for that enum value?

Are you guys crazy? This is a great computer, in case you didn't notice it's a tablet AND a laptop AND it runs Android.

As a long time Apple guy and mobile web dev, I can tell you this has several development advantages. I'm sure it will let you use Chrome development tethering to test and debug on Android devices.

I'm also a big fan of the Android ecosystem as it isn't a walled garden, a clear advantage for developers.
Great quote. Always worth mentioning the book "A field guide to human error". A quote from that book:

> Throwing out the Bad Apples, lashing out at them, telling them you are not happy with their performance may seem like a quick, nice, rewarding fix. But it is like peeing in your pants. It gets nice and warm for a little while, and you feel relieved. But then it gets cold and uncomfortable and you look like a fool.

just tried this for our app, and it wrongly reported mandrill and flash (we’re not using any of them). we used mandrill a few years ago, so this might be some stale historical data, but the app never used flash.

My SO bought one of these and she had trouble finding a place to put it on her where it wasn’t pointing slightly up at an awkward angle.

Well even for the more "simple" things federated learning can improve the experience. Lower power usage, less latency, and in some cases improved privacy.

And some kind of "smart" parsing of voice is still required. I don't like having to say things a specific way to get the machine to understand them, and as the "smart" stuff gets smarter, it gets easier to use even for simple tasks.

Before I could ask "whats the weather" and get a generic answer, now I can ask "what's the weather tonight", "what time will it rain", "will it be really cold tomorrow morning", or even "what temperature is it in here" (asking specifically what temperature my indoor temperature is).

There is a TON of work that goes into getting all of that to work, but it's not really a "feature" you can point to easily, even though it makes the product significantly better than alternatives. And being able to do all of that without needing the extra latency of a round trip to a google server would be an improvement.

I'm productive on six hours of sleep in the sense that I get something done. However, I am quite noticeably less productive than if I get more sleep.

Even if I don't feel tired, I notice that my thoughts are more muddled and it's hard to concentrate. If I get 6 hours or less of sleep one night, it's usually not a problem. But if the lack of sleep is over multiple days (like it usually is), then it becomes much worse.
The other comment is wrong.

I opened the DevTools inside vscode and executed 'document.getElementsByTagName("canvas")'.

In a single editor group[1] in edit mode there are two canvases. One is for the overview over the scroll bar. The second is the minimap. When you are in diff mode there are two more canvases to show the diff on the right side.

For me it's keeping things organized in my mindspace. When I tab to a VS window, it has my code right there alongside it's relevant git cli and server output. Helpful when I'm running a lot of services locally or simultaneously adding code to a package and using it locally with npm link in a different codebase, before publishing.

With something like iterm it's a little more sluggish to remember which tile corresponds to which codebase, especially when it's spitting out a lot of logs and obscures it's current directory

Thanks for making this tutorial and helping more people with Vim! I actually started learning Vim a few months ago. And to help me practice, a friend of mine recommended Vimgolf challenges. Since then I’ve been making weekly videos about the solutions to those challenges. I started it because some of the solutions were really hard to understand and I had almost given up a few times. I hope that by making videos it’ll help people see and understand some of the more complicated vim commands. I thought this would be a good place to share, hope it helps someone!

But does stopping the "gun culture" actually reduce the deaths? Would those 21,000 suicides have been prevented, or would they have just hanged themselves? Would the victims of gang violence be spared simply because unloading a low-capacity magazine isn't as fun?

To take a terribly pragmatic point of view, 60 deaths at the hands of a maniac is very little compared to the total 33,000 annual gun deaths. If you actually want to reduce the number of deaths due to guns then you're barking up the wrong tree when you ban high-capacity magazines; increasing the accessibility of mental health services for older white men would likely be far more effective. But if all you care about is destroying the gun culture then I guess you're on the right track.

Do you think it should be legal for insurance companies to charge higher premiums to smokers? If so, then you agree it's okay to simply go by the statistics in some contexts, so the existence of some other contexts in which it's not, isn't a counterargument.

Not that specifically, but, as a parent of a young child, I have thought “I wish I had a camera that I could basically place and forget” quite a lot.

I'm skeptical about the AI choosing good shots to capture, but if it's even remotely good at that, I suspect it will do pretty well.

I doubt it, that would be a good chunk of data for what I see as a fairly small feature.

More likely (this is a guess, nobody outside google really knows at this point), they will use federated machine learning to figure out that something is "a song", then perhaps clean up and isolate the actual "song" part of it and send that over to a google server for processing.

But again it was just announced, so nobody really knows how this works, where the data is or goes, and what tradeoffs were made.

Same boat. It's still a fantastic phone and meets all the demands and then some! The the only reason to switch might be the battery life. Still not a serious enough issue to switch, yet.

With the notch, I'm sure Apple will quickly iterate to make it a positive UX feature not a negative one. Apple has some of the best design talent in the world, so I'm sure they considered several tradeoffs in the design.
Murders are committed with illegal guns, suicides are committed by people with legal guns and mental health problems. I'm painting with a roller here.

The pro-gun crowd doesn't like the mental health side because it's a possible end run around the 2a.

The anti-gun crowd doesn't like to acknowledge that a lot of violent gun crime is committed with guns that are illegal under existing law.
You're arguing that there are cases where the warning doesn't apply... well that's why it's just a warning not an error. You're not disallowing using switch in other ways - you're just warning yourself when you do.
Could you imagine if one company tried to control and monetize writing? Your costs would be astronomical too! They need all those staff, and probably more, because controlling billions of people's communication style takes aallloottt of work.
> $400-$500 more may absolutely be worth even a slight improvement, as long as you can afford it.

The problem is, the Nexus series showed us that Google can release a high quality phone at 1/2 the price of the rest of the market, and keep it updated and running fast for years.

There is obviously more money in selling phones at market rate.
That may be the intended result, if the desired effect is to limit gun violence without impinging on legitimate owners' rights to own guns. And then higher cost of guns = less gun violence = less need to own a gun = less gun violence = lower cost of insurance = the price reaches an equilibrium where the true cost of owning a gun is equal to the negative externalities it causes.

At least that's the theory. It's unclear whether it'll actually play out that way, with the existence of black markets and the general inability to afford a lawyer and sue for damages within these communities.
This is a real time saver.
