I mean “so what” is almost always “so i can understand better”.

Did they fix it? Did they care about fixing it?
That is a very strange sentiment. I would prefer them being overtaken by a better (US/India or any moderately free country) company. I would prefer they not be crushed by an oppressive regime.
Pizzagate was only the most humorous piece of propaganda, I used it as an example that hopefully few people would argue as valid. The actual scope of propaganda was far larger and subtler.
My interpretation is how he will keep kicking forever was from this...

He hasn't been idle this decade. Idle is not one of the speeds in Jackie Chan's gearbox. "Sometimes I look at some other actors, famous actors," he says incredulously. "They're so comfortable! After filming, just holiday! With a girlfriend or the family." After filming, Jackie tends to an ever-expanding portfolio of business interests, and then he makes more films.

He's just going to be doing a lot more things besides acting. I also view him and his school as something that allows him to be 'kicking forever' even if he retires. All the stunt men/women are a product of his handwork.
Yes, that is strange.

To quote calcifer:

And it is off-topic.
I find in most cases, I just don't care about the difference.

That said, pretty sure you can find the specific answer if you need it.
It only wouldn't help for the two weeks before and after the winter solstice.
In part that depends on how broadly you want to construe ‘arms’ to mean weapons generally, and what gets included as a weapon, and not just guns. The argument over whether encryption is a ‘munition’ for regulatory purposes has been going on for some decades now. The government clearly recognizes it as a threat. And clearly the control of the flow of information is a key aspect of dictatorial government. Gun fetishists like to go on about the need for the defense against tyranny, but they haven’t been very useful against the kinds of actions governments are likely to actually take, such as passing laws like the Patriot Act.
I guess we need a kind of CE mark for websites. Some standardisation and an approval mechanism for security and reliability. We wouldn't trust our closest friendss with our banking accounts but we do use websites without any guarantees whatsoever. Software that is vital to us (banking, health, govt stuff) is subject to less regulation than cheese or wine.
Pixel by pixel scrolling was so hard, that one of the parts of the original MSWindows drawing api was "shift up/down by one pixel" for the purpose of scrolling and this was to hardware accelerated on systems that supported it. The API was otherwise completely low level.
Feels like New York, where space has long been at an extreme premium, figured this out a long time ago with take out and delivery joints.
ProPublica is pretty close to what you want.

Other than that: The fluff you're complaining about has the fantastic benefit of being pretty cheap. Op-eds don't need days of calling people or at the courthouse.

These parts of publishing may also work much like a non-profits advertisement, in that they look like a terrible waste of money that could be put to better use. Yet they bring in more than they cost, and are therefore in your interest even if you (don't want to read them/weren't attracted to the charity by the ad)
Are there any good examples of progressive web apps? I made a web app recently that had to work offline for use as a visitor display...I looked into service workers for this (there's a Webpack plugin that helps) but they seemed complicated plus difficult to debug. It seems like you have to be careful you don't lock your users out with a service worker bug because now a browser refresh might not do the same thing for everyone now.

I don't think you read the comment to which you replied so I am not sure it's worthwhile to attempt to respond to this scattered rant.
From the article:

> Dan Warne, Deliveroo’s UK and Ireland managing director, admits the company did not move quickly enough to speak to the council and residents in Southwark, but says Roobox kitchens are clean, hygienic and checked by the Food Standards Agency.
I made the mistake to order from one of those, the food was just disgusting. There are 5 or 6 fake restaurants like those appearing in the list, all with the same post code. It taught me the habit of checking the postcode and google street view before ordering from any new restaurant on Deliveroo.
Might as well read the op-ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/27/opinion/twitter-first-ame...
I have responded in detail to the accusation you made of whataboutism in one of my other replies. It only applies when someone is a partisan trying to distract or persuade in an argument against another partisan.

As I pointed out in that more detailed comment, I was asking some questions about similar scenarios to try to understand the analytical approach that you are applying that lets you confidently judge certain journalism as harmful.

Thanks for your thorough response! It's always nice to get a glimpse into a topic you usually don't give much thought to, especially when it's from someone that is passionate about it.

I am neither a coffee nor a tea enthusiast and also not an expert on the respective markets, so please excuse any naive assumptions/equations I might be making.

At least in Germany, with a strong middle-class, you do have a substantial coffee[1]accessories[0]price[2] market, with the persona of that market buying a Jura or Saeco full automatic machine (600-2000€) and coffee beans from Tchibo. They value their coffee because they drink a lot of it, but they also don't feel like going the extra mile to prepare it. For them, the coffee machine is also a status symbol they can show off when people come over. They - unlike the coffee enthusiasts with a manual espresso maker and an X step brewing and roasting process - don't really care about the fact that all the fun has been automated away.

I trust you when you say that there currently nothing happening in the tea[1]accessories[0]price[2] market segment. However, I think it might be possible that it might just be untaped due to lack of machines like the Teforia, or that the market could be created via marketing (by also cutting into the coffee market).
Thanks and googbye

does HSTS have potential to backfire?
That is awesome, it lead me eventually to discover the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA (which is the 'other' side of the Bay) and this comparison site (https://datausa.io/profile/geo/san-jose-sunnyvale-santa-clar...)
It's staggering. My favorite is the people that call the police if parents leave teen-aged children in the car.

From about nine on, I used to beg to be allowed to sit in the car and read instead of getting dragged along through stores.
The dark kitchen setup isn't just for delivery; I was wandering down a lane alongside one of London's many railways one evening and got chatting to a chap that was having a smoke. A number of the archways housed separate little kitchens, some of them cooking for delivery, but others preparing food that would later be composed at high end restaurants. It sounded like things that take a lot of preparation or cooking are sometimes done centrally and shipped out in time for the main evening meals.
The site would be 10 times faster if it was not infested with ads, still cant search for multiple makes.
I default-collapsed it because it's so offtopic. I guess that has a catnip effect when a thread is at #1. But consider how irrelevant all these comments are.
Urumqi is about 1.5 hours off, and stores/schools have localized schedules to compensate. I guess Kashgar is even more worse off.
the 'mainframe' (a prehistoric Siemens BS2000) no longer really existed as Siemens no longer gave hardware support. Instead, it was virtualised and emulated on a desktop x86.
Just going by how you talk about the tech stack you work on and a brief look at your Github, my opinion is that you should have the qualifications needed to land a job at the Software Engineer level.

Going off the tangents a little bit, I think as an industry we're going through a phrase where we're having a whole new influx of qualified candidates and we're being overly picky in hiring.

A bit of anecdotal points -- I went through a job search earlier this year after my startup went through a shutdown. I have 10 years of industry experience at this point and have done well in all of it, having moved up in a big company from SE to Architect in 6 years, and then as CTO of my startup. I had a surprisingly difficult time landing an offer during my job search. After I did, and started at a company, I quickly also began interviewing new candidates for the company as well. This time from the other side's perspective, I found us to be surprisingly critical when selecting candidates. We have a ton of candidates coming from programs like Hack Reactor and other similar ones, who all have good working knowledge of our stack (the most common one out there now -- Node, React), but we're being almost overly selective in choosing who to take in. Many of the candidates who we rejected, though junior level, actually did relatively well in their interviews to the level where, 7 years ago at my last big company, I would've hired them when I interviewed them there.

I have a completely unproven and unbacked up theory that programs like Hack Reactor and others are giving us a massive influx of new qualified candidates now, and every company is seeing it, and suddenly every employer has intentionally or unintentionally raised their expectations in hiring because the supply allowed them to be a lot more selective. This is a bit of a counter-point to the general consensus that there's always huge demand for tech talent and not enough supply.

We compile using LLVM, which has had many many man years put into it. Our GC is bdwgc, which while generic and conservative has also had a lot of optimization put into it and it works very well.

We don't pretend to be a mature language with even so much as predictable performance characteristics but the "blazing fast" statement is there to indicate we're very much closer to C performance than even go is typically.
>Jobs saw a demo and made it an actual thing you could use,

Xerox systems were complete and readily usable, but too expensive. Jobs simply tried to make something similar but cheaper. First, Jobs failed as well (Apple Lisa), then the Mac was easier to sell due to being lower priced. But the Mac also didn't sell well at the beginning; it started selling well after Jobs was fired, paradoxically.

Verisign doesn't own .com -- the US government does. Verisign operates .com on contract with the US Chamber of Commerce.
It’s certainly possible; after all, the GnuCOBOL compiler is written in C. A large part of every COBOL program tends to be simple move and arithmetic statements that seem like they should be easy to port. The difficulty comes with the data declarations. COBOL’s pic statements don’t just define length and whether or not they’re numeric. They also come with complex behaviors that are enforced at run time. For example, anything that’s a pic 9 is stored as a sequence of 0-padded text digits, but you can also do arithmetic on them. They work like a car odometer in that if you add 1 to a variable that’s all 9’s, the result is all 0’s. They also allow you to do arithmetic on currency amounts (like I do in the article) exactly, without having to worry about IEEE floating point round off errors. That’s another reason the banking industry likes COBOL.
Why would we think these fractions should be closely related?

Hate to be that guy but, Flow for JS is something like that. You can optionally enable it and even enable/disable it in certain files, functions, lines, etc.
It's not complicated. Server could offer to use already uploaded file or selecting a new one. Identifying it with session cookie or some kind of file hash.
I will absolutely vote for ending time changes but never for permanent DST.

One, it will mean getting too early for school. Children already get up too early for effective learning and now we'll ask them to get up even earlier year-round, plus they'll have to go to school in the dark in winter.

Second, I do find it hard to get up at 7am in the summer, i.e. 6am astronomical time. Businesses would probably not switch to a 10am starting time, so it's best we keep 9am being 9am, rather than 8am.

Third, it will mean more people going to work in the dark in winter, increasing road accidents.

You can probably find many more arguments against permanent DST. Of the several nations that do not observe DST, none are on permanent DST. Russia used to be on permanent DST when they abolished it in 2011, but they moved clocks back in 2014 and they've remained there ever since. A strong motivating factor was that people had to get up too early, when it was still dark [0].

It seems to be easier to simply observe astronomical time, to which our traditional business and school schedules were set, with specific businesses starting earlier per their needs, than to observe permanent DST.

No, it's a much larger existential threat. It because they're fighting to keep the web competitive with native apps. The more that the world shifts from the web to native apps, the less people use their web search engine.
> What's the case with Arabic dialects? I am completely ignorant there.

I call them dialects for lack of a better word. For example, an Algerian Arabic speaker would not be understood by an Egyptian, and a Kuwaiti Arabic speaker would not be understood by a Syrian, etc. Regional dialects may have an accent, but more importantly use different words and may even have different, informal grammatical rules.

When it comes to writing, everyone uses Arabic letters, but each region may write different words depending on the regional dialect.

The entry on Tunisian Arabic[1], which is my native dialect, may provide an idea on how it differs from other dialects.

This is what I always believed unemployment SHOULD BE in America. The amount from unemployment is painfully low for most people who need it, but having been on unemployment a few times, beyond the check, there's very little support.
I wasn't dismissing his contributions. Just that luck does play into it. Meeting Woz, for example, was fortunate for him. Jobs likely would have been successful anyway, but maybe in a completely different field.
While it does not solve your use case, others here might find it interesting: I built a domain-specific language for designing slides (https://github.com/ruuda/pris#readme). It is superficially similar to LaTeX/Beamer/TikZ, but it has first-class graphics that are reusable. More motivation in this blog post: https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2017/04/27/a-language-for-desig.... It is still basic, but I have used it a few times to do slides nonetheless.
But this still potentially "luck". Or perhaps "luck" is a very bad term. Imagine that Musk had a twin name Allen who happened to start a company called "pay-now". And "pay-now" was hit with a lawsuit related to the patent on eshops and had to shut down. Allen would never have started Tesla. Would we even know about Allen? He wouldn't even be rich. His behavior, timing, actions ect. were identical to those of Musk, but his outcome was greatly different. There are probably several Allens out there. Now, consider, what if Musk was identical, but he had never started paypal at all. Instead he, after studying electric drive trains for 20 years, made a proposal to investors that an electric car company should be started. This Allen would be MORE qualified than Musk to start an electric car company, but lacking capital to back the investments, he would be LESS likely to succeed!

Judging by his username, I think parent poster is British, in which case GMT would be astronomical time for his location. Please stop posting that link, DST has nothing to do with timezones, and explaining why we need timezones is counterproductive to the issue at hand - abolishing DST.

I can agree with the author's premise that types are essentially great, but it would be useful to have control over when (if ever) in the development stage I need to bring them, much like we do with testing. I guess there is an underlying analogy between TDD and strong static typing. I think this is one of the motivations for typed/racket, which is a lot of fun to use.
I think that type hints are becoming like that in the python world. Almost all my code starts untyped and later I start adding types when they are not trivial

See, that's kind of the thing. I admit there is quite some selection bias, but I don't actually think I know a single person who had their vote changed by said propaganda.

Hearing that Clinton ate babies, was nearly dead, was going to take away arms, and was going to force me to install a transgender person in my bathroom didn't actually make me vote for Trump. In fact, I'm pretty sure nothing they said could have made me vote for him.

Again, I'm absolutely sure there is selection bias - but I do live in the State that elected LePage, twice. We sent an electoral vote for Trump and one for Clinton. The Trump voters that I know were probably going to vote for Trump, even if he set fire to a nativity scene while cursing baby Jesus.

I wish there were some way to truly quantify how much impact it had.
Roughly 10%, where fiber makes up half of that or so. The limit I've seen is 20-40g of non fiber carbs.

Over there "dangerous driving" means license suspension for up to 3 years. Doing donuts, speeding and overtaking recklessly, running lights while endangering oncoming traffic.. Any of these are immediate suspension and hefty fine. +50km/h (or +30km/h for novices) is immediate suspension as well. We still got plenty of jackasses. Mostly young men. With or without licenses...

I think the parent is talking about that behavior, but extended throughout the entire OS. You can see this in some apps, one that comes to mind is Sketch and its concept of "symbols".

I think the complaint is that copy/cut/paste was weak in the beginning, and generally just worked with plain text. This weakened the metaphor to where now we don't expect much else, but it could have been much more powerful.
The type checker has questions, and it is adamant about them, refusing to let you move forward until they are answered. Often, I’m ok with that. They are good questions, and most of the time they really should be answered. The question is: when?

This is a good point. The poster then proposes being able to nail down your types progressively -- which I think is fine as a long as you don't let the iteration cycle get too long.

Optionally typed languages are one way we approach this ideal. Another way is linters that are stricter than the compiler itself. You must run the compiler to have testable code, but you can run the linter later, perhaps only as part of CI.

It is possible that in future, both of these approaches will look like primitive exteremes of some richer process progressively nailing down the static safety of a program.

Nah, it's still trash, and they expanded it to more markets! The good-but-not-great software consulting firm they replaced us with (lower per-head rate, and they don't question the tech lead) sometimes still emails me to try to get ideas about how to fix it, but they never bite the bullet. They're thinking of doing things which will actually make it even slower and fatter.

Saskatchewan in Canada operates on permanent DST. I'm not sure if Arizona uses DST or vanilla time. Saskatchewan is significant because it's cities are at pretty high latitude and therefore it any of the flaws of permanent DST would strongly apply to them.

They don't seem in a rush to change.
