There is a a new turkish TV show rolling on Netflix - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4320258/ - https://www.netflix.com/title/80127001

It's called Dirilis: Ertugrul (Resurrection: Ertugrul) which is about the father of the Osman, the founder of the Ottoman empire. I'm watching it, ignoring all the overly muslim overtones, praise to God (Allah), songs, etc. It has some good moments, but AFAIK it's based on very little historic facts. But it's no coincidence that the TV show comes at the time Erdogan is the "ruler". The knight templars are showed as very incapable fighters, the Kiya tribe as universally good (with very few bad apples), but apart from that is watchable (was binging on it, while waiting for my wife to catch up on Stranger Things I, so we can watch together II).

But I'm also watching it, just to see how things are portrayed from this side, since I've been told stories completely the other way (I'm bulgarian, so our history, myths & legends are all about ottoman repression, which was even called slavery while I was growing up, but recently the schoolbooks are changing that).

Then few days ago, someone mentioned that this show is in contrast how Islam was portrayed with another Turkish show released just few years before it, (also available on Netflix- https://www.netflix.com/title/80089596 - that's supposed to tell another story, but I guess without Erdogan's propaganda).

I still can't bear, the fact how his bodyguards beat so many people just recently, and nothing really happened after that... Here in the US.

The article seems to be all about Twitch. Chinese people don't really use Twitch, they have their own clones like Douyu. So while the percentage of Chinese players doesn't mean much from a global viewpoint, it matters a ton if we're looking at Twitch's role.
True (and I didn't downvote by the way), but a "memory safe" language might not be as helpful as people might think. Most of memory managed languages still rely on native libraries to perform image processing, if at the end you are using libpng and there is an exploit on it, it doesn't matter if you are using python or C++, both code base would have the same exploit if it is not explicitly mitigated in the logic.

That's been happening for years. Hats in Team Fortress 2 sold for ~1500 (Burning Kabuto was around there IIRC), and a knife in CSGO went for 24k (apparently, http://read.navi-gaming.com/en/team_news/Rarest_and_expensiv...).
Thank you, but that doesn't even offer 1/100th of what Pentadactyl did.
Also, the longer the rails have existed, the more likely that many other smart people have tried and failed.

It doesn't mean it can't be done, just that it is likely very difficult, or some other tangential breakthrough must happen first.

Fortunately, some rails are far less well-defined than others, and there are often nuggets of gold found in the foggy ambiguity surrounding such rails.
Sorry, I don't follow. I'm on Nightly (the 58-to-be) and I have Firefox configured to use a master password.

You seem to be saying that nuclear power is harmless, and all fear of it is irrational.

That's simply delusional. Yes, maybe well-maintained nuclear power plants are an acceptable risk. But pretending there's an alternative reality where we all casually refill our backyard reactors with enriched uranium on the weekend is really somewhere out there.

Mozilla’s Open Innovation team will work with ["like-minded"] technologists and artists to develop technology that combats misinformation. Mozilla will partner with global media organizations to do this, and also double down on our existing product work in the space, like Pocket, Focus, and Coral.

Firefox is the gatekeeper to the web for many and if Mozilla or this initiative is going to inject their bias in the browser, then it means
that anyone that Mozilla or the Mozilla Information Trust Initiative disagrees with will get censored or their speech altered. No organization that
is run by humans can make the claim that they won't have a bias one way or another. In order to have a free society, we must have the freedom to

> And it's impossible to put the tabs beneath the address bar

I do not understand the significance of having the address bar above tabs from the UX perspective.

If anything, I feel that it should be below so that it can appear as a part of the tab's content - because it's contextual (each tab has it's own "instance" of the address bar)
>There are legions of people that watch these streams, just to watch someone doing something that they could do themselves (but maybe not win as much).

This is an interesting comment. I watch couple of streamers regularly, but not in real-time. I just watch their content on YouTube.

Why?

Some of them actually put good effort into creating interesting in-game situations and running entertaining commentary. It's less of a reality show and more of a comedy/talk show. Maybe.

Some of them are very good at the game, and watching the stream is an opportunity to learn something new. If the game is competitive, it sort of makes sense.

But overall, I agree that streaming and YouTube are becoming the new TV. Maybe the motivations I outline above are somewhat pathological in the sense that they don't justify the time spent on such simplistic entertainment.

A lot of videos are about competitive online games, and come to think of it the direct experience in those games isn't always great. For example, when you're watching a game on YouTube it's effectively per-selected. This way you can "skip" the games that are boring or have something broken or have annoying/rude players. You can cancel/pause at any time without loosing rank or annoying other people. In some ways it's a sad state of affairs. Games should be entertaining in their own right.
I've just updated and it seems really nice so far. Best of all, the "Tree Style Tab" extension works again, and it's glorious.
Going to court to clear your name can result in the Streisand Effect. Lots of people are very judgey about sex. Letting more people know can just compound the problem, even if you win. It also is kind of like throwing good money after bad. After this has taken so much away, you are sinking more of your life into it. It can just magnify the damage.

I wish there were more justice in the world. I wish fighting the good fight were more rewarding. But that is often not a pragmatic approach.

> newer reactor types could consume lots of the old 'waste'.

These reactors don't exist in Germany, and they won't exist in the next two decades and they need a whole new industry around it. These types of industries (reprocessing plants, fuel production, etc.) nobody wants to have in a dense European country and which are extremely expensive.

Setting up these new reactors and the corresponding new fuel industries far away. If somebody wants to invest the many billions, good luck - but hopefully not anywhere near Germany.

https://github.com/thoas/picfit is another golang lib for this, and it's pretty mature at this point.

The one thing these don't support though is smarter cropping that takes into account image contents, which takes enough cpu power to require preprocessing
I suspect it's the sort of "telethon" mentality. Some people see the donations as a competition (not intellectually, but emotionally). They want to win, so they donate way more than is reasonable.

Beyond that, wasn't there kind of a scandal a few years back where people would donate huge amounts to twitch streamers to make a big splash, and then cancel their donations so it didn't cost anything?
The Raft paper [0] is a great read but context of distributed systems and the importance of consensus algorithms is probably a prerequisite. Once you understand the context, it's a nice read that it small enough to contain within your mind in one or two reads.

> All attempted socialist revolutions devolved into a system of bureaucratic control by a centralized government.

To be fair, most so-called “socialist” revolutions of them have been Leninist, in which centralized elite direction replacing mass democracy (vanguardism) is a core part of the theory.

But then, there's a reason why for many decades non-Leninist socialists have called Leninism and it's descendants “state capitalism”.

All the real advances toward socialism have been evolutionary steps in democratic “capitalist” (arguably mostly a misnomer since the mid-20th Century) states; this shouldn't be surprising, while many feudal or monarchic regimes were overthrown by political revolutions, the replacement of feudalism by capitalism as the dominant economic system of the West also was more one of evolution than revolution. (It was “revolutionary” in the degree of fundamental change over a fairly brief time period on a grand historical scale, but not in the coordinated overthrow of the established order by a group with a well-defined agenda; most of the theory supporting capitalism was developed well into or even after the transition, some of it after the 19th Century critiques in which the system was named.)

In the past, I might have said that there were some major similarities, but not so much now. The issue that I see with AUR is that each one is really independent and there isn't much of an assurance as to how well updated it would be. In the past, RPMFusion was also too slow to update for me, though, and I would frequently deal with update failures because of it.

But that changed a few releases back. I literally just updated from Fedora 26->27 and all of the RPMFusion packages were automatically upgraded along with it. I have also found that the repo maintainenance is exceptional at this point.

I think that the Fedora equivalent of AUR is probably COPR, but COPR probably isn't as good as AUR overall.
As someone who has always had 100+ tabs open at any moment, Tabs Ouliner for Chrome changed my life and freed up a TON of memory.

I downloaded the free version, played with it for 5 minutes, bought the $15 pro version, and am completely hooked. My guess is I’m averaging about 5 open tabs since picking up this extension, with the rest automatically filed so I actually go back to the ones I intended to go back to instead of just having them buried behind 30 other tabs in one of many browser windows.

I don’t know the dev, don’t have any connection to the app, but this is clearly how browsing was supposed to be.

I can understand your point of view. I believe that better security, performance and privacy is worth the partial (and hopefully mostly momentary) loss of customization, but YMMV.

Every major FF release always come with major bugs followed by a minor release fixing them a couple of days later, plus it comes with headaches discovering "Whats New" or for me "What should i disable next" or "What feature they delete", usually i tolerated those changes because i had NoScript by my side and now that NoScript disappear the line between Chrome and FF its pretty thin therefore meanwhile everything settle, m using an already tuned Chrome.

tl;dr FF without NoScript is basically Chrome, without NoScript Firefox is meaningless to me, it's the only thing that has kept me on Firefox.

I think since we are talking within the context of entrepreneurship, we can assign an objective definition as gold=financial/societal value, garbage=no financial value. So in for example, MySpace=garbage, Kickstarter=gold. I think it would be hard to argue otherwise.

Well, if it would be incremental (passing changelists of rule additions and deletions rather than state snapshots), then any serious data loss should be very unlikely. And if deletion log records would contain the deleted records and prunned only after a short while, things could be even rolled back.

As I get it, it would require significant changes to the code, though.

Germany is importing gas, while we have our own brown coal - huge power plants are sitting close to the mines. The imported gas comes to large parts from Russia - the US is also trying to increase gas sales to Europe.
> I do understand that less nuclear means more coal and that this is a difficult decision.

Germany has vast financial resources at its disposal. They could go on a natural gas plant building binge and link deals to the US on imports for long durations that the US would be thrilled to do. That would help narrow the trade deficit Germany has with the US ($65 billion annually; natural gas trade could solidly knock out half of that), so killing two birds with one stone. With help from the US abundance of natural gas supply, Germany could replace half its coal power in the next ~15 years using natural gas and significantly reduce its CO2 output just from that (and a big chunk of the other half could probably be knocked out by gradual renewable growth from where they're already at).
UL certification requirements are often incorporated by reference into law. Which is one reason why there's not a proliferation of private standards in that space, with the concomitant race to the bottom.

_You_ might not need the nanny state to protect yourself from yourself, but many people do. In fact, pretty much everybody does, at some point in their lives, in some circumstances. (You just don't know when or where.) And because their loses are invariably externalized one way or another, society has an interest in providing minimum safeguards.

It's like taxes: taxes wouldn't work if everybody got to pick and choose where their taxes went. These solutions are intended to solve collective action problems, which by definition cannot readily and consistently be solved by everybody acting independently.

Well, the 4 year degree at 18 may give you a framework to hang the rest of your learning on - the learning that you're going to have to continue to do throughout your career. The problem is, as you say, that it's too inefficient (and therefore expensive).

Something like Lambda schools may well be the answer - if you can scale it. (You say you can only cover a tiny portion of the market. What scaling problems do you face?)

What I think is really needed, long term, is something like an accredited institution that acts like a clearing house. You want a BS in CS? You need to cover at least this much material. Among the classes will be, say, advanced algorithms. For advanced algorithms, we recognize any one of this set of online classes as valid. That way, with the clearinghouse, you can get a degree that the wider world will recognize, purely online, from a variety of sources.

Smarter countries like France, which struggle to build the EPR, which has been designed three decades ago?

Currently France is busy dealing with the EPR problems AND coming up with money for their old reactors - extending their lifetime, getting rid of the oldest ones AND finding money for replacement reactors.

The problem: this is all payed/run by the government -> the tax payer pays, but has little influence. We are not talking about 'free market' or anything similar. This is top down, monopolistic, corruption ridden.

The current energy landscape in Germany already has been decentralized, is smaller, renewable, diverse and it opened up markets for energy competition - basically incompatible with a top-down, centralistic, monopolistic, government run nuclear landscape like in France.

The new EPR is extremely expensive and difficult to built. The last generation is not running and it is already obsolete. Not so smart.
