The same way getting your flu shot can make you feel worse for a bit, but can prevent you from getting the flu which will make you feel worse for much longer, and it can help prevent others around you from getting the flu.

Yes, it breaks some websites, and for those users in that moment things might be worse, but it is making the web better for significantly more people, and even the users affected aren't really "impacted" by it in most cases (generally only seeing "sticky" headers warp around while scrolling outside of a few specific types of applications).
It's r-values that cannot be assigned to. What's really missing from most conventional math, I think, is the notion of conditional expressions based on equality testing. "=" is usually only used in a declarative way, to declare that two expressions are equal.

See n+k patterns in Haskell for a programming exception to the rule you mention.
Brand is more important than benchmarks for most buyers and even if AMD chips were better Intel would still be the premium brand.

I wouldn't count the appliance reliability against CR as this great article shows appliance industry is doing it on purpose:

It takes little imagination to see how methods used for designing neural networks can be applied to other parts of ML (e.g. optimization, feature selection etc.) AutoML is definitely not a subset of NASNet..
You're confusing terminology: that's progressive enhancement. Applies to both CSS and JS.

PWA is pretty much all though JS APIs, primarily the Service Worker API.

Two different concepts.
"Progressive enhancement" is the term you're looking for. I also mix it up in my head a lot.
It kinda is yes. I don’t understand why classical proofs are still a thing.

While I suspected the same, after reading the article, the author does not conflate the bursting of the crypto bubble with the price of BTC.

After this realization I was able to set aside my indignation and observe that the author makes a good point in that most other Cryptos and "blockchainy" startups are doomed to fail, while BTC as he claims will likely recover (he makes some mention of a v-shaped price trend in BTC when the bubble bursts.

Speaking for myself:

* Vim mode in IDEs often only implement the most basic vim commands

* I'm able to work remotely over a slow/spotty connection

* I really hate waiting 10-30 seconds for my editor to start. Often I want to peek at code, then change my mind and want to edit it. I can remotely login and start my editor in less time than most IDEs take to load.

* I like dropping to my shell (not just a shell)

Who says what vim is meant to be? A lot of example vim setups I see are too much for me (too much to set up, too fickle to maintain, too slow in practice)...many of those apply to IDEs for me. But it's nice to see what's out there and how other people fit the pieces together.
It's funny how people say that Qualcomm was founded by engineers, since given they way they have acted in recent years, I had always assumed that they had been founded by lawyers.

I know Broadcom is no prize, but given that Qualcomm has laid off all of their kernel engineers working on the upstream kernel, and given the "quality" of their BSP kernels I have had the displeasure to have to work with (hint: one way to tell that your drivers are not upstreamable is when your BSP kernel doesn't even _build_ on x86), speaking purely personally, it's hard for me to shed a tear for Qualcomm....
I take Tufte as doing something slightly different than what his stated goal is. I see him more as playing with design principles to build visual grammars very different than we're used to, that sometimes run to extremes - like the Napoleon chart. The information density, compared to a normal chart, is huge and the conventions, well, unconventional. Also, it took a ton of labor, and there aren't really tools for normal humans to create such charts in the time people typically have for Powerpoint. So I see that chart, in particular, as a demonstration model, or maybe an art piece.

We all would like to see this "user data" and make up our own mind. Is the whole open source thing just a gimmick for Google?

>Individual developers working for individual companies are rarely if ever thinking about the good of their users, except in a very narrow profit motivated sense, and never thinking about the good of the ecosystem as a whole.

>Google is also "breaking the web" by not auto playing videos, not allowing alerts in one tab to block the entire browser, etc. Those all seem like good things to me.

Its interesting that you're calling for a browser to not implement standards.

In any case, an advertising company would be the last entity who I would trust to do anything "good" with regards to the web.

Nothing in the breakdown explains why the Joycons are so expensive at $80.

The MEMS accelerometer they use costs $1.88 each when buying 500 at a time. Presumably the other chips are about that much as well. There are a lot of connectors on the PCB, but in bulk they, the case, and the battery should be fairly inexpensive.

The entire concept of the Switch as a multiplayer in-couch experience is heavily undermined by the excessive cost of a controller.

There are several other first-class browsers that you have a choice of if you don't like Chrome. The same was not true during IE's era of dominance.

Also, do you agree, in general terms, that sometimes changes can be good whereas other times changes can be bad?
The comments are gold. I always thought flat earthers were thought up by the government to discredit believers in real conspiracies (like the 9-11 inside job). Seems like flat earthers are either real or the government is doubling down on sock puppets feeling that this discrediting is very necessary.
Wait, Chrome updates erase your stored passwords!!?

At least for me they don't. I have 2 passwords stored in Chrome (not a site important enough to go into KeePass), and have been through multiple updates and yet to lose any passwords.

Also consider the advantages to Apple.

It's their most expensive phone, targeted to people who have lots of disposable income.

The kind of person who, if they drop and break their phone, will simply go to the Apple store and buy another one.

Knowing that, why wouldn't you design that phone so it's slick on the sides, heavy, has glass on both the front and back and shatters like an egg when dropped?

If you put glass on both the front AND back, you're doubling the chances of a repeat sale!
I don't think that it was a mistake at the time. I think that in retrospect it has been abused, and many of the things that justified it are now possible without it. It should be deprecated and removed.

Yes, I know this is a fool's errand. I don't actually expect this to happen.
The claim was that a math degree is easier for making the switch than the opposite switch: e.g., an English major would likely do as well as a math major in getting a law degree, but would find it nearly impossible transitioning into mathematics without the equivalent of a second BS.

Chrome is a program that I run on my computer. It protects my interests, not the interests of random crappy website developers doing horrible things like hijacking clipboard events. I'm all for the defaults being whatever is best for me.

There are multiple universities spending millions upon millions (which could be used to further science), to buy subscriptions for all the journals. I know my university spends 10 mil euroes a year.

Your justification of your position is exactly what I have in mind when I say that the social experience of conjoined twins must be a case of "Hell is other people. "

Insert the term "man" in place of "conjoined twin" and follow it with a homophobic rant and see how you feel about your position in that light. Or "Black woman" or "Asian woman" followed by a justification of racism and laws forbidding interracial marriage.

I am definitely not a physicist by any means - as I understand it, the problem with hydrogen fission is not the amount of energy released but rather containing it and keeping it running stably for long periods of time, whilst using it to heat other things.

Disclosure: I sold most of my Bitcoin, and I own some Dash and Sia.

> cheaper at some point over the next 12 months is extremely high.

I agree with 85% of this post. Except two things:

1. I think people dramatically underestimate the likelihood that Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies get completely banned. ISIL isn't ransoming civilians for Bitcoin yet. They, or someone else will. Politicians and judges aren't getting contract killed via cryptocurrencies yet. They probably will. Governments are going to give people a choice: we're regulating you (signing transaction reversal with a special US TREASURY key, say, or requiring real identities behind addresses) or we're shutting you down. This even has precedent (eGold in the 90s). I think Bitcoin has a higher chance of surviving this than Etherium because it's less complex of a change.

2. Just because you can call that there will be a Bitcoin pull back in the next twelve months, doesn't mean that it will be less than the price right now. Bitcoin has gone up a lot in the past 12 months and it can go up a lot more in the next 6. If it crashes from $25k a coin to $5k a coin you aren't really giving good advice for what to do today. Personally I hope it crashes to $1k soon so I can buy back in. Feeling kinda dumb for selling at $6k CAD, but it really could hit $50k before the pullback.
Thanks for sharing the link to Momjian’s blog. I enjoyed reading his posts for content and his concise writing style.
It's not really comparable to IE. MS had a pretty explicit goal of destroying Netscape - to the extent that they were making deals with other companies to break compat with Netscape.

Chrome is breaking 'autofill=false' on webforms because its really bad to have autofill=false most of the time. For example, this was breaking password managers, forcing users to have a worse experience around something as security critical as entering a password. If the goal is to have the user never remember their passwords to avoid phishing, this is a really important thing.

I'm entirely, 100% in support of them ignoring 'autofill=false' because most of the time I see this as a security flaw on websites. This isn't anticompetitive - they aren't trying to break websites on Firefox, they aren't contacting websites to get them to do some Chrome specific thing. They're ignoring a really bad default that hurts users.
Isn't this old news ?
"That is not correct. Bitfinex didn't list Bitcoin Gold. They listed a future contract of Bitcoin Gold (though the naming "token" is a bit confusing)."

Intel ME (in Libreboot FAQ)
Is this actually a new frontier of the web? It seems more just like 'smart engineering' rather then some new thing. My version of 'edge computing' involves a guitar, a sweet beanie, and a butt load of guitar pedals. In fact, guitar pedals are a form of edge computing now that i think of it. Instead of sending your guitar signal to the cloud for processing, and then sending back to your amp, run your compute on the edge and bypass all the cloud network I/O. brilliant!

I haven't put anything into production yet but I've been playing with PostGraphQL (https://github.com/postgraphql/postgraphql). It automatically creates a GraphQL endpoint based on your schema using Node. You define your application logic as functions in your schema. It also can handle authentication for you. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
I agree. However, what seems strange to me is the blanket order against all the entities that weren't present in court: ISPS, Search Engines, Web Hosting providers, Domain Registrars and Registries[1].

I'm not a lawyer, but it appears that the lawsuit started off as ACS vs. John Does Sci-Hub/Alexandra Elbakyan, and ended as ACS vs. every ISP out there.

Just seems strange to file a verdict against ISPs, without providing them the chance of being a defendant, or at the very least part of the lawsuit. Not that most of them would care about blocking a website, but on principle it seems odd.

And how do you guarantee that in a centralized system? You don't. It's a wishful thinking based on unfounded trust.

The iPhone X is targeted at a demographic of people with a lot of disposable income.

The kind of people who, when their $1000 phone breaks, will simply go to the Apple store and buy another.

So think of it this way: If having a fully glass front increases sales of replacement parts and devices, then having both the front AND back glass will DOUBLE those repeat sales.

Apple is not a nonprofit, and they didn't become one of the wealthiest corporations on the planet by being generous and altruistic.
"Progressive Web App" is branding. I think, as a developer, you can feel free to ignore the term entirely and instead focus on the Service Worker API, Notifications API, Push, etc. etc.

However, when you're talking to a product manager or some other higher-up that doesn't have the same level of technical insight, this bundle of technologies becomes very time-consuming to explain. That's when you break out "Progressive Web App" - a web site that progressively becomes more like an app the more people use it.
> Don't forget the peer review and vetting process.

Which is almost universally done for free by the editorial/review panel for the given journal.

> As for the price I don't think it's really that expensive. I've never heard of a research University unable to afford it.

It would be nice if everyone had access to research, not just those who happen to work in organisations with deep enough pockets.

> And if not for the fees we'd have no journals.

Why?

> Maybe when we are post scarcity then it'd be free. But until then people's time is not unlimited and is worth something.

The people who put in the time (editorial board) and expertise (reviewers) aren't getting paid. If they're not getting paid then where is all the money going? Personally I think the value is in the bits that are currently all done for free, Im not sure what value the publishers really add.
A bit of hyperbole in the title is ok; you make some great points in your article. I’d like to see a welcoming environment for HW startups so I appreciate your work to clear up the misconception that HW is a recipe for failure.

Also, the idea of taking the B2B route and avoiding consumers is great; consumers have high expectations and are a very well served market.
Looks interesting, wish I could "preview" before buying. Thankfully before venturing out on my own in the web development world, I was a member on a small business analytics team were we would all regularly write 3+ page SQL queries for reports. Sometimes they's take days to run. It was awesome and horrifying all at once but a good experience nonetheless and has allowed me to do what I do today.
Yep, the only version that's attractive enough (enterprise) is about 3/4 of the minimum wage here. I can't buy it, and it's a hard sell to my bosses, especially when the company doesn't even have more than 10 employees.
Those examples support my point. Not only did we have more advanced technology then, we were able to achieve superior technology in a decade or less, when we felt like it, and the rest of the time we didn't focus on advancement at all. Just because we can achieve it has absolutely nothing to do with whether we will or not.

I'm still waiting on my flying car.
I'd suggest then to put perhaps even a small team to help with the recruitment process? Maybe 2-3 person who can review and screen around 100 CVs per day? Tedious task, but doable.
> It appears that SoCal prefers tacos (LA and San Diego), while NorCal prefers burritos (San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose).

In the feud between North and South, there is a dividing taco/burrito line. North of which, the burritos are better, and south of which, Tacos are the thing to get. No one can agree where that line is, although most can agree it's somewhere around San Luis Obispo.

It's about time we put into this the kind of resources a very important topic like this deserves.
